Allan Saint-Maximin's new future hint suggests he has already decided to stay at Newcastle United

Allan Saint-Maximin has dropped a huge hint on his future - suggesting he will be staying at St James' Park next season.

The winger had stated he would make his decision at the end of the season after vowing last summer to assess his next move when insisting he wanted the club to at least be pushing for the top 10. But Newcastle may well be able to offer him that anyway this season.

Saint-Maximin told Sky Sports: "I think the future for Newcastle will be really good. We're the most rich club in the Premier League and I'm sure so many good things will start to happen.

"It's really exciting. I think every player can really want to be part of this team. We have great supporters, a great city, one of the best leagues in the world.

"Everyone can see now a great future for Newcastle - I'm sure we'll start to be one of the best teams in the Premier League. For that to happen we need to work hard in every training. I know the owner and the manager will do everything to improve the team."
