MONEY TALKS!! See The Highly Rated Striker Newcastle Have Signed For £40m (Photo)

Newcastle have signed Joelinton for a club-record £40m from Hoffenheim on a six-year deal.

Joelinton’s arrival at St James’ Park sees Newcastle break their transfer record for the second time in seven months, with the fee for the 22-year-old striker surpassing the £21m the club paid for Miguel Almiron in January.

The deal also represents a record sale for Hoffenheim, surpassing the £29m they received from Liverpool for forward Roberto Firmino in 2015.

“I’m really happy to be here,” Joelinton said, who will wear the club’s No 9 shirt. “I know it’s a large investment that the club has made in me, and that comes with a huge responsibility.

“I’m highly motivated and hope to give back on the pitch.”
