Former Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott says Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximum has the potential to play for one of Europe's biggest clubs.

Speaking as part of BT Sport's panel covering victory over Evertn, Lescott admitted his admiration for the Frenchman.

He said: “Saint-Maximin was outstanding, unplayable at times. He was causing so many problems going forward.

“He is so unpredictable, I certainly would not want to play against him!

“He is a joy to watch as a fan and ex-player because when he runs at you, he has great balance, great speed, and in terms of his outcomes, they are becoming more consistent and if he keeps creating chances and players are in the right positions, Newcastle will score lots of goals.

“If he continues to produce that every game, he won't be playing at Newcastle, he plays for one of the best teams in the world because he has got that much talent, he is a remarkable player."
