Joelinton calls on Neymar to sign for Newcastle.

Joelinton arrived at Newcastle United with a lot of expectations but struggled to find his feet at St James’ Park for a long time. And by the time that Eddie Howe arrived as the manager of the club earlier this season, most fans must have already written him off as a transfer mistake and understandably so.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe insists Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes are “a joy to work with” after they both found the net in a 3-0 win at struggling Norwich.Joelinton scored twice on his 100th Premier League appearance for Newcastle as the Magpies recorded their first win at Carrow Road since January 1994.The Brazilian broke the deadlock in the 35th minute with a curled strike into the top corner before slotting home again just six minutes later.His compatriot Guimaraes wrapped up the win at the start of the second half when he beat a defender to Tim Krul’s attempted pass out from...

"I didn't realise you were that good" were the first words put to Joelinton in a television interview after his masterclass in Newcastle's 1-1 draw with Manchester United. Allan Saint-Maximin gave the Magpies the lead before Edinson Cavani's equaliser denied them only a second win of the season. But everyone was talking about Joelinton, the £40m striker ridiculed for a lack of goals who is finding a new lease of life as a central midfielder.

Ralf Rangnick would have applauded the intensity, the intention, and the execution. Only, the kind of pressing he advocates and is famed for was being implemented by Newcastle, with Allan Saint-Maximin hounding Diogo Dalot when the clock struck 54.That was a theme of the night at St James’ Park; the hosts suffocating and stifling their jaded opponents in an encounter that made it difficult to decipher which team had recorded a sole league victory ahead of kick-off amid Operation Avoid Relegation.
