Chelsea, Liverpool 'interested in Newcastle United's Allan Saint-Maximin'

Chelsea and Liverpool are reportedly both interested in signing Newcastle United attacker Allan Saint-Maximin during next summer's transfer window.

The 24-year-old has been in impressive form at the start of the 2021-22 Premier League season, scoring twice and registering three assists in six appearances.

Meanwhile, the Frenchman has contributed nine goals and 14 assists in 63 outings for the Magpies since making the move from Nice in August 2019.

According to Calciomercato, both Chelsea and Liverpool are showing 'great interest' in the attacker, with Newcastle facing a battle to keep hold of him in 2022.

The report, though, claims that Steve Bruce's side are not open to negotiate in January and would only be prepared to enter into transfer discussions next summer.

Saint-Maximin still has five years left to run on his contract at St James' Park.
