Everton eye up summer transfer for Newcastle sensation

Everton are eyeing up a summer move for Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin as an alternative to Wilfried Zaha, reports The Mail on Sunday. 

The Toffees have been heavily linked with a move for the Crystal Palace wing-wizard, but the Eagles have routinely priced potential suitors out of a transfer for the Ivorian. 

It's seen Everton change tact and ponder a summer switch for Saint-Maximin, who has been vital for the Magpies following his arrival from Nice. 

The Frenchman scored just his second league goal of the campaign in Newcastle's 1-0 win at Southampton on Saturday. 

However, of the nine wins Newcastle have earned this season, eight have come with Saint-Maximin featuring from the off. 

Newcastle would be understandably reluctant to losing Saint-Maximin at the end of the season, with the 22-year-old quickly establishing him as a fan favourite at St. James' Park. 

Saint-Maximin boasts a WhoScored rating of 7.18, that better than any other Newcastle player in the Premier League this season.
