Newcastle fans troll Joselu on social media

There is no doubting that Spanish forward Joselu works his socks off, but he has struggled for goals since arriving at Newcastle United last summer.

The 28-year-old moved to Newcastle from Stoke City after spending the 2016-17 campaign on loan with Spanish outfit Deportivo La Coruna, where he managed just six goals.

Joselu netted just four times in 27 appearances for Stoke during the 2015-16 season, and therefore it should not come as much of a surprise that he has struggled to find the back of the net on a consistent basis this term.

The forward, who is valued at £3.6m by transfermarkt.co.uk, has actually only managed four goals in 27 appearances for Newcastle, but he has had a number of opportunities.

Joselu turned 28 on Tuesday, and Newcastle’s official Twitter account was on hand with a birthday message for the Spaniard.

However, the Newcastle fans, who appear to have lost faith in Joselu, took the chance to poke fun at the former Real Madrid striker, claiming that he probably missed his own birthday.
