“Newcastle would drive him there” – Journalist gives Chelsea hope of clinching big-name transfer

Posted by

Journalist Dean Jones thinks Newcastle United would be ready to sell Allan Saint-Maximin to Chelsea or any other suitors this summer.

The Frenchman is a top talent who could surely flourish at a bigger club, but it’s also easy to see why he might be viewed as a frustrating player to work with.

Despite his natural ability, Saint-Maximin isn’t the most consistent, and can suffer from some questionable decision-making at times.

Jones believes that Magpies manager Eddie Howe isn’t that sold on the player and could welcome interest from Chelsea if it comes along.

The Blues would surely do well to strengthen up front after the lack of form from Timo Werner, Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech, and it’s easy to see why someone like Saint-Maximin could appeal to Thomas Tuchel and co.

Discussing the Saint-Maximin situation, Jones told Give Me Sport: “Saint-Maximin, Newcastle would drive him there, to be honest. I mean, they are looking for a buyer for Saint-Maximin, and if it was Chelsea, their eyes would light up and they would be very keen to get every penny they possibly could out of him.

“I know Tottenham have been linked to Saint-Maximin, too. Newcastle don’t see him as part of their future project.”

It will be interesting to see how things progress as the summer goes on, but it certainly seems like Chelsea could snap up a top talent here if things go their way.

  1. Chelseafc like to waste time with deal, that why other club can snap players from tham. Take saint-maxinin to the bridge

    1. You’ve obviously just seen his highlights on motd.
      He does about 8 decent things a season, he doesn’t pass, makes the wrong choices, runs into players and feigns injury if he can’t get his own way and he’ll cost you 50 million.
      He’s perfect for Tottenham, they’re all talk and no substance, a perfect match

  2. sorry bud, you couldnt be more wrong, its the players who are doing the stalling not Chelsea

  3. Get him asap… He’s a talented player and he needs a good coach like Tuchel to help him nurture his talents.
    He will bring bite to Chelsea’s toothless attack.

  4. He is not for sale ,this is all lazy journalism ,one reported blown out of proportion bust up in training about a parking place and he is up for sale , Newcastle are looking for another winger, why would they sell a talented fans favorite for a nominal fee and then have to pay a fortune to replace him and still need another winger at an extortionate price, you only have to look at the prices Newcastle are being quoted for Harrison Barnes and ,Diaby
