England Under-19 forward Chris Willock is set to leave Arsenal for Portuguese giants Benfica, according to a report.

Arsenal youngster Chris Willock has entered advanced talks with Benfica over a move to the Estadio da Luz, according to a report.

The 19-year-old forward has progressed through the ranks in North London but is out of contract at the end of June.

According to The Mirror, Willock is unsure about his first-team opportunities at the Emirates Stadium, and so has decided to opt for pastures new.

The report goes on to claim that the England Under-19 international has travelled to Portugal to discuss terms over the free transfer with the Primeira Liga giants.

Willock has made two first-team appearances for Arsenal, both substitute cameos which came in last season's EFL Cup.
