Allan Saint-Maximin makes "incredible" Newcastle transfer request after holding talks

Allan Saint-Maximim has admitted he would love Newcastle to sign Marcus Thuram from Borussia Monchengladbach after the latter impressed at the World Cup.

The 25-year-old played an important role for France as they reached the final, with Thuram assisting Kylian Mbappe's second goal in a 3-3 draw after extra-time. However, Les Bleus fell to a 4-2 penalty shootout defeat as Argentina lifted the accolade for the third time in their history.
