Chelsea and Tottenham remain in the hunt for Newcastle United attacker Allan Saint-Maximin.

The Athletic reports Spurs, Chelsea and a number of European sides have explored the option of signing the 25-year-old.

The Blues are undergoing a squad overhaul in the current window under their new ownership, while it appears that manager Thomas Tuchel is keen to add one more attacker to his forward line.

Tottenham are also said to have identified the former France under-21 international as a potential target, yet Antonio Conte's attacking woes have been relieved by the arrival of attacker Richarlison.

For his part, Saint-Maximin's representatives are eager to seal a new deal in the North East. The Frenchman has been overtaken as one of the club's highest earners by the new arrivals this summer.
