Joelinton had a season to remember last term after finding himself rejuvenated under Eddie Howe as a midfield enforcer. The fact that Joelinton was prepared to play there at all, after arriving as a marquee signing at £40million from Hoffenheim, showed what type of character we are dealing with after some observers had made early judgements on the Brazilian.
Going into another season Joelinton's aim is simple - and it doesn't matter where he plays. He said this summer: "For me, the most important thing is to be playing, and to just help the team.
"It doesn't matter if that's midfield or striker or any role! I am available for the coach and will always give my best. That's it really."
