Allan Saint-Maximin made his vows clear last July when he stated he did not want to spend another season trying to avoid the drop in the Premier League with Newcastle United.
As the Magpies head into their final six games of what has been a fraught campaign at times, Saint-Maximin's desire of summer 2021 to finish in the top 10 could yet be fulfilled. Although, for most of the season, Newcastle have indeed been fighting against relegation in the top-flight.
That, however, is merely down to the club's bad start. Since the turn of the year, Newcastle have been in Champions League qualification form and sit third in the table only behind Liverpool and Manchester City.
