Standing at 186 cm and weighing 81 kg, he combines formidable physical strength with surprising technical ability and relentless energy. His market value of €30 million reflects his crucial status under manager Eddie Howe. His early career in Germany with Hoffenheim showed glimpses of his potential, but it was his positional change at Newcastle that unlocked his true value. Joelinton is now the engine of the Magpies' midfield, renowned for his ball-winning prowess, driving runs, and ability to contribute in both penalty areas. He played a pivotal role in Newcastle's top-four finish in the 2022/23 season and their return to the UEFA Champions League. His journey from struggling forward to midfield powerhouse is a testament to his work ethic and adaptability, making him a fan favorite and one of the league's most complete midfielders.
