Newcastle United ace Joelinton believes central midfield or left wing are his best positions.

The Brazilian started at the club as a striker who was unable to score enough goals.

However, he was molded into a midfielder by manager Eddie Howe, with the 27-year-old never looking back.

Joelinton told the Premier League's YouTube channel: I'm happy to help the team. For me, it's just important to be on the pitch. To do everything I can to help my team to win.

I like to play in the middle and at left wing. Wherever the gaffer needs, he knows he can count on me to do the best I can for the team.

In the middle, you have more of the ball. You participate more in the game, you are more involved than as a striker. As a striker, you touch the ball less. For me, I like to have the ball."
