Arguably Steve Bruce’s best day at Newcastle came last fall when Matty Longstaff’s debut goal secured a 1-0 home win over Manchester United. Now he hopes Allan Saint-Maximin can undo them again. The 23-year-old Frenchman has signed an improved six-year contract and Bruce says he may be the “new David Ginola.” Although Saint-Maximin is a different type of winger, Bruce knows that he possesses a similar ability to cast a spell. “Can Allan be a David Ginola?” he pondered. “It can be whatever it wants to be. It has the ability. He does things that are off the radar. ” Louise taylor
