According to transfer news for Calciomercato (h/t Football.london), Chelsea are among the clubs chasing Allan Saint-Maximin. Premier League rivals Liverpool and Everton are the other two sides who are said to be after the enigmatic winger from Newcastle United.
In all honesty, Newcastle are not exactly a very exciting side to watch. However, when the ball falls on the feet of a certain Allan Saint-Maximin, fireworks tend to happen. The Frenchman is a skilful attacker who likes to take on his opponents and tries to get the better of them with his immaculate skills.
Since joining Newcastle, he has scored nine goals and assisted 14. While those are not really boastful numbers, it is his goal threat that he brings to the side who are not really known to hit the back of the net on frequent occasions. He has, however, started the current season like a house on fire.
Saint-Maximin is one of the most exciting wingers in the Premier League and it was probably only a matter of time before other top clubs took an interest in the 24-year-old. Now, a trio of Premier League clubs are said to be after him (h/t Football.london). Chelsea are among those three while the others are Liverpool and Everton.
In all honesty, Chelsea have missed a winger that made things happen by himself as Eden Hazard did during his heyday. There is no surety that the Frenchman can replicate his Newcastle form at Stamford Bridge, or that he would sign for the club in the first place. But there is no harm in trying for Marina Granovskaia and co.
