Newcastle United: Joelinton signs new long-term contract

Newcastle United midfielder Joelinton has signed a new long-term contract.

The Brazil international's contract was set to expire in 2025, and could have been sold this coming summer, manager Eddie Howe said in January.

But Joelinton, who joined in a then-club record £40m deal from Hoffenheim in 2019, says moving to the club was the "best decision of my career".

He is currently sidelined with a thigh injury and is not expected to return until next season.

"I always wanted to be here," said Joelinton.

"I love playing for the club.
