Chelsea and Liverpool are both interested in signing Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin.
The Frenchman has proved to be one of the bright spots in what has otherwise been a dismal season so far for Steve Bruce’s side, scoring two goals and providing three assists.
He is under contract at St. James Park until 2026, but that has not stopped him being linked with a move elsewhere, and was linked with a £40 million move to Everton in the summer.
In the end, Newcastle were able to hang on to the 24-year old, who is a fan favourite, but he has made no secret of the fact that he wants to be challenging for major trophies.
And, given that its unlikely to happen with his current club – unless their much vaunted takeover goes through – it is only a matter of time before he starts agitating for a move away from the North East.
Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
