Best bits as Newcastle United star Allan Saint-Maximin celebrates three years at club

Back on the 2nd August 2019, Allan Saint-Maximin joined Newcastle United on a six-year contract from Nice.

The flying French forward has been exciting Newcastle fans ever since.

The Geordies have added him to the likes of Ben Afra, Ginola and Robert as skillful legends who have made the trip from France to Tyneside.

He made his debut in Newcastle’s defeat to Arsenal.

On the 5th of December, Saint-Maximin scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 win against Sheffield United.

He has played almost 100 times for the club and scored 12 times.

it might not bother him too much but he is the only Newcastle United player to make Steve Bruce’s all-time XI, he told The Telegraph.

Best bits

Geordie through and through.

If they manage to land James Maddison, he already has one fan in Saint-Maximin.

“I dribble a lot. Some people love it. Some people don’t love it a lot.”

“With the love they give me, I’m so proud to be in this club. I want to give back to the Newcastle city and to the fans.”
