Allan Saint-Maximin has taken to social media once again to insist he will 'just keep working' amid speculation over his Newcastle United future. The Magpies' talisman is one of several first-team stars who has been tipped with a potential exit this summer, as Eddie Howe looks to reshape his squad ahead of the new campaign.
Saint-Maximin's status at St James' Park has diminished since the appointment of the former Bournemouth boss. The forward was a key player during his first two seasons in black-and-white under Steve Bruce, but the 26-year-old often had to settle for a spot on the bench for much of last term.
Competition for a starting spot on Newcastle's left flank is fierce, with Anthony Gordon, Alexander Isak, Joelinton and Joe Willock all enjoying spells in the role. Saint-Maximin's prospects could be dealt a further blow with the Magpies closing in on a deal for Leicester City forward Harvey Barnes.
