Newcastle United are set to reward star player Allan Saint-Maximin with a bumper new six-year contract.
Sportsmail revealed during the summer that the winger was seeking an improvement on the original six-year deal he signed in August 2019 following his £16million arrival from Nice.
And it is understood Saint-Maximin will now put pen to paper on a new contract with better terms.
There has been interest in the 23-year-old given his outstanding debut season in the Premier League and he has carried that form into this campaign.
Securing his future at St James' Park is a major boost for head coach Steve Bruce, who praised the influence of the 'maverick' following his starring role in Newcastle's 3-1 win over Burnley before the international break.
