Report: Trabzonspor looking to offer Joelinton an escape route out of Newcastle
that Turkish SuperLig leaders Trabzonspor are looking to replace the likely sale of Alexander Sorloth with one of three Premier League strikers – including Newcastle United club-record signing Joelinton.
Sorloth, 24, is currently on loan at Trabzonspor from Crystal Palace but with the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Liverpool linked with the 22-time Norway cap – they are expected to activate the £5.2million release clause in his contract.
The report claims Joelinton is one of three strikers Trabzonspor want to replace Sorloth, with the former Hoffenheim star struggling since his club-record move to the Premier League. Joelinton has scored just once in the Premier League.
However, Joelinton is not the only striker being linked with a move to Trabzonspor. Indeed, the report claims Aston Villa’s powerful striker Wesley is also on Trabzonspor’s shortlist – and Leicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho.
TBR’s view – Newcastle takeover should have Joelinton worried
The Brazilian has really struggled, scoring only three goals in total for Newcastle – failing to live up to the famous number nine shirt. To be fair to Joelinton, he is naturally a left winger, and he can hardly be blamed for failing to adapt.
With Newcastle coming close to a takeover, a new striker is likely to be the first transfer on the new board’s agenda. Such a takeover should have Joelinton worried, and the Brazilian should seriously consider a move to Trabzonspor.
