It’s been a pretty good week for Joelinton. Just days after scoring a goal on his international debut for Brazil, the midfielder has been named by Newcastle United fans as their Player of the Season.
The 26-year-old’s rise has been well documented since his questionable start in a black and white shirt, but the former Hoffenheim man enjoyed his best season as St. James’ Park as Newcastle marched towards European qualification.
And fans have rewarded those performances by naming him as their stand out player from the season just gone, with thousands of supporters taking part in the vote held by ChronicleLive over the past month.
