Joe Willock is now the only Willock brother at a top club in England after his brother, Matty, signed for Gillingham from Manchester United.

Not that long ago there were three Willock brothers playing at Arsenal and Manchester United.

Chris Willock was the first to jump ship when he left Arsenal for Benfica in the summer of 2017 on a five-year deal. To date, the 21-year-old has played 64 games for their B side but has yet to make a senior appearance for them which must be frustrating. He left Arsenal, a club he made two senior appearances for, in search of a first-team role.

Joe Willock is, of course, still at Arsenal and expected to be integrated into the senior team much more next season. The youngest of the three at 19, Joe has 17 senior appearances for Arsenal (with three goals and another 12 squad appearances).

Matty, meanwhile, signed for United from Reading in 2012. The oldest of the brothers at 22, he leaves United for Gillingham on a free transfer without making a first-team appearance at Old Trafford.
