Kieran Dyer was full of praise for Joelinton's remarkable transformation from 'waste of money' to 'key ingredient.' The former Newcastle United midfielder claims the Magpies need a player like the Brazilian in the heart of midfield.
Joelinton has been one of Newcastle's standout performers this season after moving into a deeper role. The £40million signing has shown he has what it takes to play a part in the Magpies team moving forward.
Eddie Howe has transformed the striker into a ball-winning midfielder and one that has been a 'breath of fresh air' according to Dyer. Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: "I’ve been on here numerous time saying I thought he was a waste of money. He’s been an absolute breath of fresh air for Newcastle and he’s been one of the key ingredients to their team because they need a player like that. Fair play to him."
