Fans of Newcastle United have been reacting to a post on Twitter, in which Allan Saint-Maximin posts an image of himself in the club’s new 2020/21 home shirt.
Saint-Maximin, who has found himself as somewhat of a fan-favourite at St James’ Park this season, posted the image of himself, which appears to be a cartoon-style drawing rather than an actual photograph, in Newcastle’s new home shirt for next season on Twitter, shortly after the kit was revealed by the club on Thursday.
In reaction to his post, fans of Newcastle flocked to have their say on the matter, with many suggesting they cannot wait to see the 23-year-old strutting his stuff in the new kit next season.

Since moving to Newcastle from OGC Nice last summer in what was a £16.20 million deal, Saint-Maximin has gone on to wow fans of the club with his performances, scoring three goals and providing four assists over his 25 Premier League appearances, averaging a WhoScored match rating of 7.34 – ranking him as the club’s best performer by quite a considerable distance this season, and also as the 12th best player in the Premier League.
Do you believe Allan Saint-Maximin will still be a Newcastle player next season?
Yes
No
However, as a result of his impressive performances, there have been rumours of interest from some of the Premier League big boys, such as Tottenham Hotspur, and it would appear that many of the Newcastle fans are concerned about the player’s future at their club.
You’ll be gone by then, Ahley could buy Bright House, if he sells you lad!

Shame we won’t get to see you wearing it much if Ashley stays. Once £40m+ is offered he’ll cash in.#NUFCTakeover#AshleyOut

As long as your still here next season to wear it is all that matters to Newcastle fans #ASMIsGod

Please be here to wear it next season ?

Does this mean your staying Allan?

As such, it would appear that these Newcastle fans, generally, do indeed like the look of the new Newcastle shirt, however, it would seem they will like it better if Saint-Maximin is wearing it next season.
