Rio Ferdinand and Jermaine Jenas have praised the mentality of Newcastle’s Joelinton, who has revitalised his career by dropping back into midfield.
The 25-year-old found it tough to find the net on a regular basis when he first arrived at the Magpies which led to disgruntlement and increased pressure from the stands.
However, the arrival of Eddie Howe has seen him become a box-to-box midfielder, often getting forward to support the attack, and is now one of the first names on the team sheet.
