Saint-Maximin, signed last summer from Nice for £16.5million, responded on Twitter with a message of “my club” – and a heart emoji.

Newcastle, 13th in the league with 35 points, are preparing for Saturday’s home game against seventh-placed Sheffield United.

The Premier League fixture could be played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus outbreak. Visiting manager Chris Wilder said: “I think it’s coming, definitely. I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens for us at Newcastle. I definitely think it’s imminent. The ramifications are going to be felt at all levels of football.”
