Newcastle United fan favourite Allan Saint-Maximin is the subject of transfer speculation following a frustrating season. Eddie Howe is keen to keep hold of the Magpies' number 10, although recent reports suggest the club could be tempted to cash-in if a suitable offer is lodged.
Saint-Maximin fanned the flames with a cryptic social media post last month, suggesting he had reached a 'turning point' after spending a large spell of last season either on the bench or on the sidelines. The 26-year-old began the season in fine form, producing a standout display in the home draw with Manchester City in August and following this up with a sensational equaliser at Wolves.
However, hamstring problems and the team's form in his absence meant Saint-Maximin largely spent the remainder of the campaign on the periphery. Newcastle have not added to their forward options so far this summer, but the former Nice star already faces a fight to regain his starting spot on the left side of attack with Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon, Joelinton and Joe Willock all proving themselves capable in the position.
