Newcastle head coach Steve Bruce has issued a hands-off message to potential suitors for the in-form Allan Saint-Maximin. However, amid speculation that Saint-Maximin, who cost the Magpies £16million when they bought him from Nice last summer, is being monitored by a series of potential purchasers, Bruce rebuffed the attention. Bruce, who is himself among the candidates for the Manager of the Month award, said: “We can’t help that at Newcastle. “He’s got all the ability to be a top player, its now the mental side to do it week in, week out. “He’s still got a long way to go, but we’re delighted with his improvement and the way he’s adapting to the Premier League now.”
