OFFICIAL: Joelinton commits future to Newcastle by signing new long-term contract

Months after Eddie Howe admitted in a press conference that Newcastle could be forced to sell one of their star players Joelinton due to financial rules, the Brazilian has committed his future to the Magpies after signing a new long-term contract.

The English club announced on social media the renewal of the Brazilian midfielder, who has become a key part of the Newcastle project in recent years thanks to the important role he has played under Eddie Howe.

"Newcastle United are delighted to announce that Joelinton has signed a new long-term contract at St. James' Park," reads the statement from the club. 

"I feel great. I feel very happy and my family is happy. A lot of things have happened in my years here. I've learnt a lot and grown a lot, and for me to come here to Newcastle was the best decision of my career," Joelinton told the club's official website.

Head coach Eddie Howe added: "This has been a big priority for us off the pitch and I'm absolutely delighted Joelinton has committed his future to the club. Joey is an exceptional player and person, and the love he has for the club is reciprocated by all of us here. He brings unique qualities to the group and undoubtedly makes us stronger."
