Allan Saint-Maximin still hasn't reached 'peak' but must deal with Newcastle United competition

Allan Saint-Maximin still hasn't reached his 'peak' yet as the Newcastle United forward has been backed to cause sides problems next season - if he gets back to full fitness.

The French winger has gone from one of they key members of the Magpies' starting XI to one not guaranteed first-team action as Eddie Howe has transformed the Newcastle side. However, former Chelsea star Florent Malouda feels that is more a sign of how far United have come, rather than any drop in Saint-Maximin's standards.

And the 80-times capped French international says a fully-fit Saint-Maximin can still play a big part for Newcastle going forward, despite the arrival of the likes of Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon - with perhaps even more to come from the enigmatic 26-year-old.
