“We've worked really hard with Maxi during pre-season. He's trained well. He's delivered everything that we've asked him to deliver. You know, we've pushed him physically. He's responded. So I'm hoping for a very, very good season," Eddie Howe said over the summer.
The Newcastle United boss knows how to raise the game of a Magpies talent. This time around he is hoping to take Allan Saint-Maximin 's performances to an entirely different level. If last year was the rise of Joelinton and Emil Krafth, this season is the turn of their French counterpart.
Ever since he swapped the beaches of Nice for a stint on Tyneside, Maxi has dazzled with his ambition and tenacity on the ball. A world-beater on his day, the wide man has also been criticised for his decision making and consistency.
