Willock, brother of Gunners star Joe, spent part of last season on loan at Huddersfield but despite interest from the Terriers opted to move to QPR.
He scored twice in 14 appearances for Huddersfield to help ensure their Championship status.
QPR had been in the market for a new attacking player after allowing star man Eberechi Eze to leave for Crystal Palace.
Willock failed to make a senior appearance for Benfica but did play 64 times for their B team.
He has also represented England from Under-16 level through to the U-20 side.
Playoff hopefuls QPR sit ninth after four games, picking up a win and two draws so far.
Meanwhile Arsenal’s chances of signing midfielders Houssem Aouar and Thomas Partey appear over.
The Gunners have failed to raise the funds necessary to land their signatures.
