Newcastle United are said to be continuing to work behind the scenes to secure Joelinton.

The Brazilian midfielder has been a revelation since manager Eddie Howe converted him from a striker.

While Joelinton is grateful to Howe for bringing the best out of him, he wants favorable terms on his next deal.

Per Chronicle Live, Joelinton is delighted at the club and wants to commit his future.

But he also wants to be one of the highest paid players in the squad from next season.

Whether the Magpies agree to give him similar wages to Bruno Guimaraes and Kieran Trippier is not clear.
