Reaching an agreement with OGC Nice to sign Allan Saint-Maximin on Thursday after sending a delegation to the south of France to get the job done, Newcastle have wasted no time to get the next steps in the completion underway.
Reported to be signing a six-year contract at St James’ Park, the French winger has apparently already travelled to the north of England to undergo his medical.
The 22-year-old’s arrival appears to be highly anticipated by the Premier League club’s fans, who have already been treated to a new record signing this summer in Joelinton.
The player scored six goals and assisted teammates five times last season at Nice, doing so in 34 Ligue 1 appearances.
