Newcastle United star Joelinton has been charged with drink-driving after being stopped by police in the early hours of the morning.

Police said a 26-year-old man was pulled over in the Ponteland Road area of Newcastle at 01:20 GMT on Thursday.

The Brazilian is due to appear before magistrates on 26 January.

The midfielder, who signed for Newcastle United for £40m in 2019, scored in the club’s 2-0 win against Leicester City on Tuesday.

Joelinton was previously fined £200 after he broke lockdown restrictions to get a haircut.
