‘A top, top player’ – Graeme Souness raves about 23-yr-old PL star linked with Tottenham
Popular pundit Graeme Souness has heaped praise on the Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin. The Frenchman has been in inspired form since the restart and he could guide Newcastle to a top-half finish if he continues to perform at this level. The Magpies are only three points behind 10th placed Burnley. Saint-Maximin has had a good season overall and Souness thinks he is a ‘top player’. The 23-year-old was recently hailed as the signing of the season by Newcastle manager Steve Bruce. Souness believes that the Newcastle star will only get better with time and no defender in the league will want to be up against in him in one-vs-one situations. He said (quotes via Chronicle): “He’s a top, top player. It’s easy to look at him and just talk about his dribbling when he gets one-on-one.&nbs...
‘My information’ – Ornstein shares what he’s heard about Arsenal’s interest in Saint-Maximin
Arsenal are reportedly keen on Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin ahead of the summer transfer window, and the North London giants are said to have already made contact with the winger’s representatives. However, The Athletic’s David Ornstein has poured cold water on the claims after making his own enquiries following the emergence of the report. Arsenal indeed want a winger, but they are keeping tabs on Chelsea’s Willian and not the Newcastle star. Mikel Arteta’s side are looking to lure the Brazilian to The Emirates once he leaves Stamford Bridge at the end of the campaign as a free agent. “One of the names that have come up in recent days in Allan Saint-Maximin of Newcastle,” Ornstein revealed on The Ornstein and Chapman Podcast. “My information is Arsenal are not interested in...

‘It was disappointing’ – Moyes reacts to what Hammers midfielder did before NUFC’s equalizer
West Ham United were pegged back twice by Newcastle United at St. James Park yesterday, and the 2-2 draw almost felt like a draw given that the visitors were the better side in the final third. The Hammers attempted 17 shots, with seven of them hitting the target, and they will hope to be better at both ends of the pitch when they host Burnley on Wednesday. Michail Antonio opened the scoring for West Ham four minutes into the game, but it took 13 minutes for Miguel Almiron to draw Newcastle level. David Moyes’ side took the lead 20 minutes after play resumed for the second-half, but the Magpies equalised again just 92 seconds later through midfielder Jonjo Shelvey. However, it wouldn’t have been possible had Pablo Fornals not kept Dwight Gayle onside in the build-up to Newcastle’s second g...
‘All depends on the takeover’: Many Magpies fans react to PL star’s comments on NUFC move
Danny Rose has stated his desire to stay at Newcastle United and has admitted that he is playing for his future. The 30-year-old is currently on loan at St James’ Park from Tottenham Hotspur. Rose is not in Jose Mourinho’s first-team plans, and the left-back will be sold in the summer. It remains to be seen whether Newcastle take up the decision to sign him permanently at the end of the season. Rose has made seven appearances for the Magpies (six starts) so far. While he looked decent, many Newcastle fans are not convinced whether the club should sign him permanently. “First and foremost, I’m playing for my future,” Rose told the matchday programme. “I don’t think I need a bigger motivation than that. I’ve settled in very well, I love the lads and members of staff, and the fans. “It doesn’...

‘Disappointed’ – Spurs star explains why he will miss Everton clash
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli has confirmed through his Instagram handle that he will miss tonight’s clash against Everton. The 24-year-old is currently down with a hamstring injury and hasn’t made the matchday squad.

Spurs will have to face Everton without one of their star players and it’s a blow on their chances of winning given his creativity and quality. Alli has featured in 24 league games for the North London giants this term, scoring eight goals and assisting four times. Tottenham trave...
