Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino is backing Newcastle United's Joelinton for success in England.
Joelinton moved to the Magpies from Hoffenheim for a club record fee in the summer.
We have already talked about this (game), because we are linked to the same representatives and know each other in this way," Firmino told Globo Esporte.
"I hope he also succeeds in England and continues to evolve in his career.
It's always good to be able to face Brazilian players here in Europe. It's nice to see so many being successful. Joelinton is one of them. Like me, he left Brazil early and went to Hoffenheim. And now he's here playing the Premier League.
"For his style of play, he has everything to make it work. But don't come and have fun on Saturday."
