‘Doesn’t work hard enough’: Jose Enrique slams £16.5m Newcastle player

Jose Enrique has said on Twitter that Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin does not work hard enough for the team.

The former Newcastle star has suggested that manager Eddie Howe should not play the French winger much between now and the end of the season.

The pundit has added that he believes that Newcastle could finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season if they are able to be more clinical.

The Magpies are fifth in the Premier League table at the moment with 44 points from 25 matches.

Newcastle are four points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who have played 27 games.

Saint-Maximin has made eight starts and nine substitute appearances in the Premier League table for Newcastle so far this season.

The 26-year-old Frenchman has scored one goal and given three assists in those games.

Saint-Maximin, who cost Newcastle £16.5 million in transfer fees (SkySports), has also made two starts and four substitute appearances in the Carabao Cup for Newcastle this campaign.

Meanwhile, The Athletic have reported that Neymar wants to end his career at Paris Saint-Germain.

There has been speculation that the Brazilian forward could leave defending Ligue 1 champions PSG at the end of the season.

TEAMtalk reported last month that Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Newcastle all have been offered the chance to sign Neymar in the summer transfer window.

However, it seems that the former Barcelona star wants to stay at PSG.
