Eddie Howe has heaped praise on Allan Saint-Maximin after his sparkling display against West Ham.
It was a night which suggested the player is close to getting back to his very best after a season of injury woe with a hamstring problem. Saint-Maximin set up the opener at the London Stadium and came close to getting his own name on the scoresheet in the second half.
Howe said: “I think Maxi has been very focused for a while now. "I think he’s trained very well, first and foremost, and that’s always the first aspect of the game that I judge because, for me, that then leads to the performance.
