“I hope he does well” – A lot of Newcastle fans are buzzing that the club have signed Joelinton from Hoffenheim for a club-record fee.
The rumoured price is around £40m, and if true that would obliterate the current record of £21m for Miguel Almiron.
The 22-year-old arrives at Newcastle after a decent season for Hoffenheim – where he scored 11 goals and set up a further nine.
The player has signed a six-year deal with the club and seems delighted that he is on Tyneside.
He has also taken on the famous number nine shirt and knows that if he can score goals for the club, he could become a hero at St James’ Park.
For now, though, many Newcastle fans are just pleased they have signed Joelinton.
See the best of the reaction below.
We are delighted to welcome our new club record signing – Joelinton!

Good luck to the lad. I hope he does well.
But removing Ashley from the club is the priority.#AshleyOut #BoycottArsenal
