# Newcastle United: Allan Saint-Maximin set for bumper new deal amid cryptic Tweet

**Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin is [set to commit his long-term future](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8838679/Newcastle-star-Allan-Saint-Maximin-set-sign-bumper-new-SIX-YEAR-contract.html) to the Magpies by signing a bumper new six-year deal at St James’ Park.**

The forward only arrived at Newcastle from Nice in the summer of 2019 for [around £16.5 million](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49211377), with the Frenchman signing a six-year deal with the Magpies. However, the winger had sparked [some speculation](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-transfer-rumours/malcolm-macdonald-saint-maximin-man-utd-transfer-warning/) over his future in a recent interview with [Sport.fr](https://www.sport.fr/football/son-avenir-le-covid-les-bleus-newcastle-allan-saint-maximin-livre-ses-verites-dans-une-interview-exclusive-715004.shtm), where he stated that he could need to move to a top-six club to get international recognition.

**Saint-Maximin’s cryptic Tweet becomes clearer**

The 23-year-old attacker has hit the ground running in the Premier League and has already been [described](https://sportmob.com/en/news/embed/376553-steve-bruce-lauds-scary-newcastle-winger-allan-saint-maximin) by Steve Bruce as a player with ‘scary ability.’ Saint-Maximin has been an integral part of the Magpies’ attack so far this term, registering [one goal and one assist](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/allan-saint-maximin/profil/spieler/272642) in three appearances.

The Frenchman delivered a cryptic message on his personal Twitter account on Wednesday morning, which has since been deleted, as per [Chronicle Live](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-transfers-news-live-wilsons-19099305). That had left some supporters wondering what the 23-year-old was referring to. It has now emerged that he is set to sign a new six-year deal on improved terms, as per the [Daily Mail.](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8838679/Newcastle-star-Allan-Saint-Maximin-set-sign-bumper-new-SIX-YEAR-contract.html)

Saint-Maximin had been seeking to improve his wages by signing a new contract with the Magpies this summer, and it now seems that Bruce’s side are set to reward the 23-year-old’s early-season form with that new and improved contract he had been wanting, as per the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8838679/Newcastle-star-Allan-Saint-Maximin-set-sign-bumper-new-SIX-YEAR-contract.html).

### **Saint-Maximin new deal massive for Newcastle progression**

Newcastle enjoyed a solid summer window with the additions of Callum Wilson and Jamal Lewis for a combined £35 million. With all the talk over a takeover still potentially being possible, the Magpies must outline their ambition to progress by keeping hold of players such as Saint-Maximin.

The 23-year-old is an exceptional talent and he is beginning to offer and end product to his raw flair – the forward has averaged 2.3 successful dribbles per game so far this term, whilst also averaging a 92% passing accuracy up from 79% last term (via [Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/player/allan-saint-maximin/347010)). If he continues his development, he has the ability become of the league’s best attackers so it’s great news that he will be tied down to the Magpies.
