Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has insisted that everyone has “moved on” from Allan Saint-Maximin’s controversial comments about his teammates in a recent interview after resolving the issue internally.

French publication So Foot published an interview with Saint-Maximin which included quotes from the 25-year-old saying he would have more assists if he played with better finishers at the club, prompting Howe to call a team meeting.

But following the 5-0 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, the Toon's boss revealed that all has been forgiven and left in the past following that meeting, and the Frenchman will not be fined for his actions.

When asked about the outcome of the team meeting that had taken place prior to the game, Howe remained tight-lipped on the situation as he looked to swiftly move on from things. He said : “All good, no problems internally with the squad. We’ve moved on from it.”

However, ahead of the game on Friday, the 44-year-old also said: “I have no concerns over his mood. I don’t think I will be fining him about that situation. It’s more a case of education and making sure players know what we expect of them.”

The Frenchman had approached Howe about the situation after becoming “concerned” over how his comments had been portrayed, which he revealed had been “taken out of context” in a social media post
