Saint-Maximin sends out transfer message, urges the club to ‘buy more players like’ 21-yr-old
Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin has urged the club to show ambition in the transfer market and sign more players like Joe Willock. The Frenchman revealed in an exclusive interview with Sky Sports that a club of Newcastle’s stature should be fighting for a place in the top half. “Sometimes you have to think about your future, you can see Leicester winning the FA Cup, you play football to win trophies, not to fight to stay up,” he said. “We have to buy more players like Joe Willock – he can be really great for the team and myself. “I am 24-years-old, and have to think about the national team, about winning trophies, and hope the club can give me that.” Since Saint-Maximin joined Newcastle, they have been fighting for their survival in the Premier League.
