Newcastle United's right back Kieran Trippier is a huge admirer of midfielder Joelinton.

The Brazilian signed for Newcastle several years ago as a striker.

While he failed in that position, he was converted into a midfielder and has never looked back.

In a recent interview, Trippier told Vibe with Five: "The one player is Joelinton. I've played with a lot of South Americans over the years, and he's proper 100% in training every day.

“He's an unbelievable player, an absolute machine.

"The turnaround in his career from what I've heard before the takeover until now is remarkable.

“What a player he is, he's got an unbelievable future ahead of him."
