Allan Saint-Maximin Has Brilliant Response To News Premier League Star Will Not Be Joining Newcastle

Allan Saint-Maximin had a brilliant response to news that compatriot Lucas Digne will not be joining him at Newcastle.

The left-back has fallen out of favour under Rafa Benitez and Everton and looks nailed on to leave Goodison Park in the January transfer window.

Digne is also courting interest from other Premier League sides. Chelsea, having seen Ben Chilwell ruled out for the season, are said to be keen on the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain man to strengthen their options on the left side of defence.

The 28-year-old has not played for Everton since December 1 and was frozen out after an argument with Benitez over tactics.

Benitez has confirmed Digne has asked to leave he Toffees.

Speaking in his press conference, Benitez said: “We have some conversations. He told me what he thought. So what do you expect the manager to do when a player is thinking about leaving?

"We need commitment. We don’t need enquiries. I am not in charge of the negotiations but when someone is asking, they have to commit themselves and say ‘I will buy’.”
