Everton, Crystal Palace eyeing Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin

Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin is attracting rival Premier League interest.

The Sun says Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti had Saint-Maximin watched as Newcastle defeated West Bromwich Albion 3-2 to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

Saint-Maximin only arrived at St James' Park last summer, signing from French club Nice on a six-year contract.

Newcastle spent £16.5m to bring him in - with potential add-ons worth a further £3.5m - but would hope to command at least £30m from a sale.

Everton could face competition from Crystal Palace for Saint-Maximin as the London club look for a replacement for Wilfried Zaha.
