Allan Saint-Maximin joined Newcastle United in the summer transfer window.
Jamie Redknapp has spoken highly of Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin in The Daily Mail.
The former Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder believes that the 22-year-old is an “exciting talent”, and has suggested that his pace is what manager Steve Bruce needed in the team.
Redknapp, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, made the comments following Newcastle’s 3-2 win against West Ham United away from home at the London Stadium in the Premier League at the weekend.
Saint-Maximin had a good game on a personal level, as the winger had two good chances and was a constant problem for the Hammers.
According to WhoScored, the French winger took three shots and all of them were on target, played one key pass, had a pass accuracy of 72.2%, took 35 touches, attempted five dribbles, and made one interception.
So far this season, Saint-Maximin has made five starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Magpies, according to WhoScored.
Redknapp wrote in The Daily Mail: “Allan Saint-Maximin is an exciting talent and vital to Newcastle on the counter. Steve Bruce needed that pace.”
