Newcastle United has completed a club-record deal to sign Joelinton from Hoffenheim.

Toon have parted with 40m to bring the 22-year-old Brazilian to St. James' Park.

"I'm really happy to be here," Joelinton said, who will wear the club's No 9 shirt. "I know it's a large investment that the club has made in me, and that comes with a huge responsibility.

"I'm highly motivated and hope to give back on the pitch."
