Nikos Dabizas urges Newcastle United star Allan Saint-Maximin to be 'more effective'

Former Newcastle defender Nikos Dabizas has challenged winger Allan Saint-Maximin to produce more consistent numbers for the Magpies next season.

A Toon cult hero, Dabizas made over 100 appearances for the Magpies during his five-year spell on Tyneside. He scored a memorable Tyne and Wear derby winner against Sunderland in 2002 at the Stadium of Light, cementing his place as Geordie fan favourite. Now 48, Dabizas still tunes in to watch Newcastle play, with the former Greek international picking out Allan Saint-Maximin as one of his favourite Toon players to watch.

The mercurial French winger is unplayable on his day, but his performances sometimes blow hot and cold.
