Newcastle hesitant to sell Saint-Maximin

Chelsea and Tottenham have made initial contact to discuss the signing of Allan Saint-Maximin, a 25-year-old French striker who has been at Newcastle since the 2019-20 season.

Newcastle's multi-million pound project was not so big this summer. In contrast to other transfer windows, the Magpies only made three signings and spent around 67 million euros.

This summer, Newcastle focused on departures. At the beginning of the market, the name of Allan Saint-Maximin emerged. The winger was reportedly one of the players Newcastle asked to leave the English club.

Saint-Maximin's future remains unclear. The club's intentions regarding the player could have changed in the last few days. According to comments made by former Leeds goalkeeper Paddy Kenny to 'Football Insider', the English club had serious doubts about whether it would be a good option to put him on the market.
