Allan Saint-Maximin is the best dribbler in the Premier League because defenders simply cannot tackle Newcastle United's 'entertainer'.
That is the view of Jamal Lewis, who is well-placed to give an insight into just what makes Saint-Maximin such a unique footballer.
Although Lewis is, obviously, Saint-Maximin's team-mate, the full-back also has plenty of experience of coming up against the mercurial Frenchman in training.

Premier League defenders have often had to resort to kicking Saint-Maximin to try and keep him quiet but the Magpies' talisman is still capable of producing something special on his day, whether it is a hat-trick of an assists at Bournemouth or a stunning individual goal against Burnley.
Away from the cameras, at the training ground, Callum Wilson has previously found himself applauding some of Saint-Maximin's tricks and Lewis is also a huge fan of the 24-year-old.
"He just makes it up," the left-back told the Insight podcast. "It's so off the cuff that sometimes I think he doesn't even know what he's going to do.
"His change of direction, his creativity, his ball dribbling and control...I think he's probably the best dribbler in the league. Honestly.
"On his day, I don't think you can tackle him. He can maybe give you the ball but, on his day, I don't think a man can tackle him because he's that sharp.
"He's a top player. That's why the Newcastle fans love him. He's an entertainer - he loves to entertain the fans. He's almost a little bit old school."
