Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce brought in Allan Saint-Maximin over the summer to strengthen his attacking options.

According to a report in the Chronicle, Allan Saint-Maximin is working hard to be fit for Newcastle United’s match against Tottenham Hotspur.

Saint-Maximin is still not back in full training with Newcastle, but was at Benton yesterday, where he completed an individual session.

The new signing was training in the gym, as he looks to get back to full fitness before the weekend.

Saint-Maximin has damaged his hamstring, and Newcastle boss Steve Bruce is reportedly very cautious over risking him.

There is the potential for Saint-Maximin to significantly worsen the injury if he is thrown into Newcastle’s team before he is ready to return.

There is no doubting that Newcastle are in need of the spark that Saint-Maximin could offer already though.

The Magpies have started this season in awful form, and were battered by Norwich City at the weekend.

Saint-Maximin would give Bruce another attacking option to pick from if he can make it back fit, and that would be a huge boost.

If Saint-Maximin does recover in time to face Tottenham, he could be a real danger on the counter attack for Newcastle, as the Frenchman is one of the fastest players in the Premier League.
