Alan Shearer admits that Newcastle United striker Joelinton hasn’t been getting enough quality services to score goals

Newcastle United striker Joelinton has struggled to make an impact since arriving at Saint James Park last summer for a club-record £40 million, scoring just once in 29 Premier League appearances.

The Brazilian has come under criticism for his lack of finishing prowess in front of goal, and his future with the Magpies is under huge threat with the club expected to bring in a quality striker this summer once the prospective new owners take over.

Former Tottenham Hotspur and Leeds United midfielder turned pundit Michael Brown has revealed that Newcastle legend Alan Shearer admits that Joelinton hasn’t been getting enough quality services to score goals.
