Joelinton is hoping to fulfil a boyhood dream and pull on the yellow and green shirt of Brazil but knows the only way to do that is continue to play well for Newcastle United. The Brazilian was one of the standout performers for the Magpies after Eddie Howe's arrival.
The decision to drop him into a deeper role paid dividends as Newcastle kick started their bid for Premier League safety. The Magpies would finish just seven points behind the European places and there's plenty of hope ahead of next season.
The arrival of Bruno Guimaraes in January added some much needed quality to Howe's squad and his fellow Brazilian has joked about asking for further compatriots to help boost their bid for European football.
