What happened. Newcastle United are reportedly determined to keep Joelinton and will block any January transfer deal for the midfielder. The Brazilian is expected to take on a bigger leadership role once he returns from injury.

• Newcastle's squad has changed dramatically in a short space of time.
• Bruno Guimarães and Sandro Tonali both left during the summer.
• Matthias Jaissle has inherited a younger group needing experience.

Newcastle's stance will be tested by growing interest in Joelinton ahead of the January window.
