Allan Saint-Maximin looks almost unrecognisable after chopping off his trademark long locks. Newcastle United’s talisman took a trip to the barbers after the Premier League clash with West Ham was postponed.
Top-flight chiefs, alongside the EFL, have cancelled all football fixtures this weekend to honour the death of Queen Elizabeth II. It remains unclear whether the Magpies’ home clash against Bournemouth next week will go ahead due to the funeral.
When Newcastle next take to the field, supporters may struggle to identify their star play after a recent haircut. Saint-Maximin has ditched his longer, eccentric style for a traditional short back and sides.

Newcastle fans discussed Saint-Maximin’s new hairdo after word got around on Twitter.

@StanMag65: Looking sharp, love it.
