Allan Saint-Maximin, the audacious winger hailing from France, has confirmed his departure from Newcastle United, fondly recalling that his “greatest trophy” was his tenure at the club.
The 26-year-old maestro is projected to join the esteemed Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro League, a competition managed by the same Public Investment Fund (PIF) that lays claim to Newcastle. Here, he’s destined to share the spotlight with former Premier League luminaries such as Riyad Mahrez, Edouard Mendy, and Roberto Firmino.
Saint-Maximin, who notched 13 goals across 124 appearances following his 2019 arrival from Nice, leaves an indelible mark on the Toon Army. “Even though this chapter has ended, the story never stops. Newcastle is home now,” he asserted. “I’ll continue to be your biggest supporter.”
Newcastle’s Resurgence and the Champions League Return
Since Eddie Howe’s appointment as the team’s gaffer in the wake of the PIF’s takeover in October 2021, Newcastle has seen a metamorphosis. Finishing fourth in the last season, the Magpies are set to grace the Champions League stage for the first time in two decades.
