Newcastle Linked With Dubious €60m Swoop for Hoffenheim Forward Joelinton
Newcastle are being linked with a club-record move for Hoffenheim forward Joelinton with a summer move potentially on the cards, according to a report from Germany.
The Magpies have struggled for goals all season long - only Huddersfield have scored fewer in the Premier League this campaign - with only Salomon Rondon and Ayoze Perez registering more than four goals.
Their need for reinforcements up front is becoming more apparent with Newcastle still yet to secure the permanent signing of Rondon - who is still only on loan from West Brom - while Joselu and Yoshinori Muto are still struggling to establish themselves in the side.
