Allan Saint-Maximin wants to STAY at Newcastle and fight for his place - with the winger seeing Champions League football as key to helping him break into the France squad

Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin has decided he wants to stay and play Champions League football.

Saint-Maximin joined the Magpies from Nice back in 2019 and quickly became a fans favourite with his skillful and entertaining style of play.

The 26-year-old had been earmarked as an asset Newcastle could sell to boost their transfer budget but with interest limited, the French flyer wants to fight for his place.

Saint-Maximin signed a lengthy contract under the Mike Ashley regime and would still like new terms to bring him in line with the club's new signings but, for now, has been convinced the best way of achieving that is to play.
