Newcastle boss Bruce excited working with Saint-Maximin

Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce is excited working with Allan Saint-Maximin.

Bruce feels the only problem with the winger is that he "needs to pass the ball more".

"Well, look, I said when he walked through the door that he's going to excite people the way he plays, the way he is," he told the BBC.

"He's natural ability is scary. He can go past any full-back. He's blessed with that natural ability with balance but, obviously, he's still got to learn the other side a little bit too. If he does, and sorts the other bits out, then we've got a hell of a player on our hands."
