'Frustrating' Allan Saint-Maximin told to stake his claim in Newcastle starting XI

Newcastle Eddie Howe Allan SaintMaximin Bruno Guimaraes Newcastle United Shay Given Magpies

Shay Given has told Allan Saint-Maximin he needs to impress the Newcastle United boss after being given a rare start against West Ham United. The wide man has struggled with injuries this season, but the fine form of the Magpies has also made it difficult for the 25-year-old to force his way into the side.

The French winger was handed his first start by Eddie Howe since August, giving him an opportunity to impress in the absence of Bruno Guimaraes. The Brazilian midfielder was shown a red card for a poor challenge in the Magpies' Carabao Cup semi-final win over Southampton.

Saint-Maximin was linked with a move away from St. James' Park in January with AC Milan reportedly interested in signing the winger. However, Howe has stressed the importance of keeping him on Tyneside for the remainder of the campaign.
