BBC pundit believes Newcastle man is improving key part of his game

Newcastle picked up an important point away at Wolves on Sunday to remain unbeaten this season.

It was a tale of two wonderful goals, with Ruben Neves opening the scoring from outside the box in the first-half for the home side.

However, Bruno Lage’s team couldn’t pick up their first win of the campaign, after Allan Saint-Maximin’s fantastic volley in the 90^th minute.

“A lot of people are talking about his final ball, or goals and assists, and they want to see a lot more, but what about that for a finish?

“The technique, he had his head all over the ball, he watched it all the way to his foot.

“An outstanding effort, it was brilliant. I’m just glad he’s doing well and he’s getting the final part of his game together.”

Richards thinks Saint-Maximin end product is improving

On his day, Saint-Maximin is one of the most entertaining players in the Premier League.

Very few players are able to beat a man like the Frenchman, and his quick feet have caused problems for plenty of defenders since joining Newcastle.

However, Saint-Maximin has struggled to deliver the goals and assists expected for a winger.

He’s never topped five goals or five assists in one season since joining Newcastle.

It’s the most frustrating aspect of Saint-Maximin’s game for Newcastle fans, but Richards believes his end product is not starting to improve.

The technique required to score his goal against Wolves, hitting a ball dropping so such a height so sweetly, certainly shows his potential.

The £16.5m man has plenty to prove and potentially the strongest Newcastle side he’s had the chance to play with since moving to Tyneside.
