Newcastle United are on the verge of announcing a record-breaking deal for Joelinton – and the striker has been spotted at St James’s Park.

Photos on social media have been circling showing the 22-year-old frontman walking down the touchline at SJP, ahead of his potential £36million move from Bundesliga outfit Hoffenheim.
