Emmanuel Petit believes there could be “an opportunity” for Arsenal to sign Allan Saint-Maximin this summer. Injuries have hampered the 25-year-old’s season, with no Premier League starts since August 28.
Since his return, Eddie Howe has limited Saint-Maximin’s appearances to cameos from the bench. Joelinton is currently holding down a place on the left flank - raising questions over the Frenchman’s future.
A man who was once indispensable to the Magpies’ cause is now a peripheral figure struggling to regain his first-team place. Ex-Arsenal midfielder Petit has called on Mikel Arteta to rescue Saint-Maximin from St James’ Park.
