Former Rangers and Scotland player, Ally McCoist, has hailed Newcastle star Joelinton for his transformation into a top-class midfielder.
The Brazilian helped Newcastle thrash West Ham 5-1 at the London Stadium on Wednesday.
He netted twice in a 5-1 victory for the third-placed Magpies in a brilliant all-round display on Wednesday night.
The South American has emerged as one of the most consistent midfielders in the English top-flight and Ally McCoist is a huge fan.
“I don’t think I’ve seen a transformation in a player anywhere, at any time, that’s been better than Joelinton,” McCoist told talkSPORT.
“I remember going to watch Newcastle and I actually felt sorry for the lad.
“But now, it’s brilliant to see. He’s winning tackles, his touch is brilliant, he’a threat.”
