Allan Saint-Maximin has been rewarded by Newcastle United for his lightning start to the season, with a brand new bumper six-year contract, keeping him on Tyneside until at least 2026.
According to the Daily Mail, the Frenchman has been seeking an improvement on his original six-year deal that he signed on arrival from Ligue 1 side Nice last summer.
Saint-Maximin sent Newcastle fans into a frenzy when he sent a cryptic message on his Twitter account, which he quickly deleted, that signalled he had signed a new contract.
The Châtenay-Malabry born winger has been subject to interest from Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Champions League runners-up Paris Saint-Germain this summer, so tying him down on improved terms will be seen as a seismic boost to head coach Steve Bruce's side.
Saint-Maximin notably put in one of his best performances in a black and white shirt in The Magpies' last league game against Burnley, where he scored and assisted in a 3-1 win.
The 23-year-old has been a fans favourite ever since his move to Newcastle in August 2019, scoring four and assisting six in 29 Premier League appearances.
Saint-Maximin: 'I hope this stays my home for a long time'
Speaking to NUFC TV, Allan Saint-Maximin said: "I've played for a lot of clubs - Monaco, Nice, in Germany, but Newcastle, I feel like it's my home.
"The supporters give me a lot of love, the coach too, and my partners on the pitch.
"Everybody gives me love and when you have this, I feel it's my home and I hope this stays my home for a long time.
"Every club I'd been before, the fans loved me - but not like the Newcastle fans.
"That's really important, because for me, you have the football and everything, but you have the human and they give me something different
"So if I can give back to the supporters and to the club with a new deal, I'm really happy."
Bruce: 'I'm sure the supporters will be delighted'
Newcastle boss Steve Bruce said: "We're absolutely delighted that he's committed his future here.
"We're delighted to be keeping him - and he's delighted to be staying.
"I'm sure the supporters will be delighted with the news.
"He's had an introduction now to what life in the Premier League is like and with Allan, the world is at his feet.
"He can go as far as he wants to go, because he's got the talent to do it."
