Hope so, Raga.

Was just reading Eddie saying 'we are where we were' on his contract.

We've missed him as much as Pope, imo.

Got a source, Raga?

Just something I heard TBH but it's from a credible source in Saudi.

Alreet lads and lasses.

Here is the first media report. Luke Edwards in the Telegraph.

Newcastle United are close to finalising a new contract for Brazil international Joelinton after a series of positive meetings with the player and his representatives.

The expected announcement of the extension will be a huge boost to manager Eddie Howe and the Newcastle board, who had made a successful conclusion to these problematic contract talks, their main priority before the end of the season.

Replacing Joelinton in midfield would be a huge challenge and Howe has consistently stressed that the club had to fight to keep him.

Indeed, although an outline of recruitment needs had been drawn up ahead of the summer transfer window, nothing could be firmed up into a short list until they knew if they could keep one of their marquee names.

Joelinton, who has become integral to Howe’s plans as a box-to-box, midfield enforcer, only has 15 months remaining on his existing deal and will be made available for transfer in the summer if he does not agree to extend.

Despite an initially gloomy assessment of the chances of keeping the 27-year-old at the start of the year, Telegraph Sport has been told the talks have progressed well behind the scenes and discussions have been heading in a positive direction for several weeks.

Multiple sources have now said it looks like the player will be staying on Tyneside although the final details still need to be thrashed out.

Joelinton will become one of the club’s top earners, moving alongside compatriot Bruno Guimaraes and is expected to commit himself to the club for the next four years.

Joelinton has become just as important to Newcastle as his compatriot Bruno Guimaraes and his decision to extend his contract also increases the chances that his close friend will also stay on Tyneside for at least one more season. In turn, it sends a powerful message to the likes of Anthony Gordon, Sven Botman and Alexander Isak, as well as the players Newcastle will target to recruit in the summer.

Newcastle might have to sell players eventually, but they do not have to lose their best ones against their will and that bodes well for the future.

Aye, the noises coming out are positive. Be massive for the overall feeling within the team if players like Big Joe commit to the cause..

Hopefully we can keep them all fit, for most of the time anyway. We can’t afford the same injury crisis next season.
