Kieron Dyer claims Allan Saint-Maximin 'nowhere near' levels at Newcastle United last season

Former Newcastle United midfielder Kieron Dyer has blasted Allan Saint-Maximin’s performance levels this season. Eddie Howe brought the Frenchman on for the final 20 minutes against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

That was the fifth league game in a row where Saint-Maximin has been asked to make an impact from the bench. A hamstring injury suffered in the 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers - a game he scored a last-minute equaliser in - has frustrated the 25-year-old’s 2022-23 campaign.

That fixture on August 28 remains the last time Saint-Maximin started a Premier League game. Howe has preferred to play Joelinton in a wide-left role since the domestic season resumed in December.
