Reliable journalist confirms Spurs’ interest in EPL star is ‘real’ as Paratici eyes ‘huge’ player for Conte

By Mehdi Gokal -

Lee Ryder of The Chronicle has confirmed that Tottenham’s interest in Newcastle star Allan Saint-Maximin is ‘real’.

Spurs have already signed six players this summer but their spending spree is said to continue with reports suggesting they are in the market for a creative midfielder and another center-back. Some names that they have been heavily linked with recently are AS Roma’s Nicolo Zaniolo and Barcelona’s Memphis Depay.

Saint-Maximin has also been linked with a move to Conte’s side as the Italian prepares for his first full season with the club. Their interest in the Newcastle star has now been confirmed by The Chronicle’s reliable journalist, Lee Ryder. He claimed that Spurs’ interest is very much ‘real’ and the club even sent some ‘senior talent spotters’ to watch him in the last few months including Newcastle’s 1-0 win over Crystal Palace where the Frenchman put on an impressive show.

However, Ryder states that there is nothing ‘concrete’ from Spurs as yet and that Chelsea are also monitoring the player. Saint-Maximin can be an excellent addition to any team.

On his day he is unplayable upfront, but it will be surprising if Spurs sign him now considering they are already stacked up with attacking options for the positions he would play in. Newcastle will not be looking to sell him either. According to inews, he remains a ‘central part’ of Howe’s plans and a ‘huge’ favourite of the new owners.

So, other than the facts that Newcastle doesn’t want to or need to sell him, and we have more important needs and it’s not clear where he fits, it’s a great story!

Nor does Saudi FC need to sell him, or anyone else. City showed that FFP doesn’t really exist. He’s an exciting talent, but if our needs are CB, RWB, where does he fit? I suppose it’s a different take on a “creative midfielder”, not sure whether an electric dribbler is the key to unlocking a low block that we need…I’ll trust Conte to know if he’s what we need.

Spurs may be interested in St. Maxi, as are a lot of other teams I’m sure. But Newcastle has no interest in selling him. End of story.

I agree with you that many Italian players dont really transition to the Prem .
Dont understand why , except the best of Italy – Zola , Luca Vialli etc – do it with elan and are wonderful examples / role models .
Believe it to be true the other way round too ??

Decent player, but like so many similar type players, he has average end product. I put Zaha in the same bracket who, can be unplayable on his day, but you feel is just too unpredictable at times.

I actually like Lewis-Potter and Gordon as two youngsters that I feel will go on to deliver more regularly. Brentford got a good deal for the former, while Everton would be mad to let the latter go at this stage.

I see Zaniolo is linked again. Big talent and versatile enough to play on the wing, as a nine or ten. Would be a risk due to injuries, but it looks like Conte rates him. Like most Italian players though, getting them to move abroad isn’t easy… and I don’t really blame them.
