Newcastle star Allan Saint-Maximin told he can become 'one of the best wingers in the world'

Newcastle United star Allan Saint-Maximin can become 'one of the best wingers in the world' if he manages to find consistency. That is the view of former Magpies full-back Jose Enrique, who believes the forward 'destroyed' Kyle Walker with his recent display in the draw against Manchester City.

Saint-Maximin has not been shy in outlining his ambition to earn a senior call-up for France, and has begun the season in impressive form for the Magpies. The former Nice forward followed up his performance against the defending Premier League champions with a stunning equaliser in Sunday's draw at Wolves.

A late hamstring complaint at Molineux has likely ruled Saint-Maximin out of the trip to Anfield on Wednesday night. Eddie Howe will have to reshuffle his side with the 25-year-old joining Bruno Guimaraes and Callum Wilson on the sidelines.
