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.

‘I’d love a manager like him’ – Some NUFC fans react to links with 43-yr-old manager
Newcastle United have been linked with a move for Gennaro Gattuso. According to Calciomercato, Wolverhampton Wanderers are also keen on appointing the Napoli manager.

As per the report, the two Premier League clubs are willing to change managers this summer, with Steve Bruce and Nuno both uncertain of their future. Newcastle have been mediocre under Bruce this season, and the fans have repeatedly called for his sacking in recent months.
