Even with a new head coach in Carlos Corberan now at the helm, Town are known to like the 22-year-old Arsenal product from his time in the Championship last season.
Willock, pictured, was signed with just minutes to spare on transfer deadline day in January and - having not featured at all for West Brom in the first half of the season played 14 Championship matches for Town, scoring twice.

That deal is a lucrative one, but we understand he’s not out of the John Smith’s ballpark from a financial point of view.
It could be that a move firms up for Willock if Town move on any of their current widemen.
