Petit believes that Saint-Maximin could help improve Arsenal’s firepower up-front and believes he is up there with some of the Premier League’s brightest talents:

“I've heard big names as well, Jesus, Sterling, I really like Zaha, or even someone like Saint-Maximin from Newcastle.” Petit told Genting Casino.

“Martinelli is a very good player, just like Saka, but when they get injured, who's going to play on the left and right? There are no options, they need at least four players, at least two up front.”

Saint-Maximin has five goals and four assists for Newcastle United this season, however, a slight slump in form means he has only registered two goal contributions in 2022.
