Former Newcastle United boss Graeme Souness has questioned the impact of Allan Saint-Maximin.

Souness has dubbed the former Nice winger a "maverick".

He wrote in The Times: “He gets you excited, but he's a wild card.

“Patrick Vieira managed him at Nice and his verdict concerns me: 'Allan's problem is that sadly he thinks that talent is enough to go to the highest level. He needs to understand that he needs to work, to make sacrifices, to suffer'."
