Newcastle have completed the signing of Joelinton from Hoffenheim for a club-record fee.
The club have confirmed the move after the striker was pictured at the ground, with rumours of a move to Newcastle intensifying after the club have been long-term admirers of the Brazilian striker.
He had been heavily linked with moves to St James’ Park in the past, but it was suggested that previous manager Rafa Benitez was not so keen on the forward.
The 22-year-old striker featured 28 times in the Bundesliga for Hoffenheim last season, scoring seven goals and assisting another five along the way. He also has Champions League experience under his belt, something that can be considered as a coup for the Magpies.
The move to bring in Joelinton is the first major piece of transfer business since the arrival of Steve Bruce. It’s a deal that will have some major repercussions around the club, so let’s take a look at some of the winners and losers of the deal.
