Former Gunners star Emmanuel Petit believes Saint-Maximin would a good buy for Arteta’s squad.
He told Genting Casino: “I’ve heard big names as well, Jesus, Sterling, I really like Zaha, or even someone like Saint-Maximin from Newcastle.
“Martinelli is a very good player, just like Saka, but when they get injured, who’s going to play on the left and right? There are no options, they need at least four players, at least two up front.”
“To be honest, right now I don’t see myself leaving Newcastle,” Saint-Maximin said about his future. “After that, there are a lot of things that can change. Several big clubs approached me for a future transfer.
“These are clubs that did not come for me when I was in Nice. Newcastle came at a very important time in my career. They gave me a lot of confidence. I am a very grateful person.”
