Reports | Newcastle United looking to sell Allan Saint-Maximin amidst interest from England

Ever since his move to Newcastle United, few players have excited and made fans happy as Allan Saint-Maximin as with the Frenchman now a cult hero at the club. That is despite the 25-year-old only contributing to 28 goals in his three seasons at the club, with injuries and other issues halting his progress. But with the Magpies progressing both on and off the field, it has seen Saint-Maximin become a key part of their project although the situation has now changed.

However, while there is interest in the 25-year-old from both Chelsea and Tottenham, the Magpies have reportedly set a £40 million asking price which has been deemed too high. But both clubs are still in the running as they believe that negotiations and making up the difference through add-ons is a possibility especially since Newcastle want to sign players this summer. Furthermore, the Mail has reported that the Magpies understand Saint-Maximin’s frustration and are hoping that they won’t have to resort to letting the Frenchman leave.
