Allan Saint-Maximin is a man who is causing quite the stir amongst Newcastle United fans. There is no doubting the man’s ability but his consistency and end product have lit a fierce debate across the fan base.
The Frenchman is frustrating yet dazzling in equal measure for some, while others won’t have a bad word said against him, and some are ready to cash in on him this summer. Despite all the noise, Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe has made it clear that Saint-Maximin is part of his plans going forward.
His performance in the one-nil win over Wolves was a game for many that simply poured fuel on the already raging debate over his future on Tyneside. A moment of magic to help set up the eventual penalty was accompanied by frustrating parts of his game such as holding on to the ball for too long.
