Newcastle have so far seen a £14m offer for Saint-Maximin, 22, rejected by Nice.

And Bruce has admitted that the Frenchman is not yet close to moving to Tyneside.

But the Toon boss is set to come back with a £20m bid, hoping the Ligue 1 side will sanction the deal.

Bruce said: “I don’t think it’s on the verge of happening.

“It’s somebody we have looked at, it’s somebody we have identified. We’ll see what happens.”

Saint-Maximin scored six goals and grabbed five assists in 36 appearances for Nice last season.
