Newcastle United fans react to Joelinton’s comments on his goal drought

Newcastle United striker Joelinton has scored just three goals since arriving at St. James’ Park as the club’s record-signing from Hoffenheim last summer. The Magpies splashed £40 million on the Brazilian, and he opened his scoring in his third Premier League game – against Tottenham Hotspur. Joelinton hasn’t scored a league goal since August, with his other two goals coming in the FA Cup against Rochdale and Oxford United. He has assisted three other goals in his 34 appearances for Newcastle thus far, but much more is expected from him, and the 23-year-old has vowed not to be affected by his goal drought, promising to improve on his form going forward.
