Arsenal, Napoli to battle for 23-year-old Frenchman

Arsenal and Napoli could reportedly slug it out over the summer for the Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin.

Despite still having five years left to run on his contract, the Frenchman has allegedly resulted in interest from the Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.

The 23-year-old wideman has enjoyed a relatively-productive debut campaign at St James’ Park, finding the back of the net on three occasions in 22 appearances, in addition to contributing four assists.

According to Le 10 Sport, the Gunners and Partenopei have expressed an interest in making an audacious move for the winger.

The report goes on to claim that Saint-Maximin’s representatives’ have already received contact regarding his availability.

The Magpies are allegedly willing to sell Saint-Maximin for a fee somewhere in the region of £30m.
