Joleon Lescott has claimed that Allan Saint-Maximin worries more about his appearance than his performances on the pitch.
Lescott says that he was told this by OCG Nice manager Patrick Vieira, who, of course, managed Saint-Maximin before his move to Newcastle from France over the summer.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Lescott said this:
He can be an exceptional talent at times.
He tends to worry about some issues and appearance more so than on the field attributes.
He can be a top talent, and can be a match for anyone, I was told, but again, needs to worry about doing more than taking care of himself.
READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT
Saint-Maximin has not, publicly, shown any signs of having a poor attitude during his time at Newcastle so far.
The winger is already well-liked by some fans, who have been showing him some love on social media in recent weeks.
On the pitch, Newcastle fans have not had the chance to really see what he can do. He was a substitute against Arsenal, missed the match with Norwich and picked up an injury early on during the win over Tottenham.
However, his former manager being concerned about his attitude is a worry for Newcastle, as it suggests that he could cause problems within the squad further down the line.
