Allan Saint-Maximin has dropped a big hint on his future with Newcastle United – suggesting he will be at the club for the start of the 2021/22 season. The French winger, however, wants to see the club build a squad that is capable of challenging for the top 10 and a domestic cup.
Allan Saint-Maximin said: “I have to be honest, you think about yourself, the most important thing is the club, but I don’t want to fight one more year against relegation or being safe. I hope we do more to have more ambition and try to do everything to win trophies and fight for the higher places. It will be great. If we have more players like Joe Willock scoring goals this can change so many things. Newcastle aren’t in the right place we should not be fighting against relegation and should be going for the top 10 and looking for a trophy.”
Already, Saint-Maximin has been linked with AS Roma and a possible link-up with José Mourinho next term, but he feels that “ambition” from the powers that be at St James’ Park will determine his long-term situation.
