Newcastle United target Allan Saint-Maximin shows off his skills as Magpies ramp up interest in winger

Newcastle United are continuing to hold discussions with Nice over winger Allan Saint-Maximin as they look to complete a deal for the winger.

The 22-year-old was left out of Nice's squad for the pre-season game over Boavista FC, as United boss Steve Bruce confirmed the club were in for the player.

The speculation has not impacted Saint-Maximin as he took to social media to show off his skills.

The French U21 international was filmed working hard in the summer heat - passing the ball back to a fitness coach while side stepping over a step.

He then posted another clip on Instagram showing just what United may be getting for a reported £20m.
