Official: Allan Saint-Maximin joins Club América | OneFootball

The long-awaited reinforcement to cover the offensive zone of the team has finally been made official.

And no, it's not Denis Bouanga as had been rumored for many weeks; it's Allan Saint-Maximin, a French player coming from Al-Ahli in the Arab League.

Who is Allan Saint-Maximin?

Allan is a French player who is 28 years old and plays as a left winger, although he has also played on the right and in the center.

He has played for eight clubs during his career, but without a doubt, his most outstanding moment was at Newcastle United in the Premier League, where he was a key player for four seasons; this led Al-Ahli of Saudi Arabia to offer 32 million euros to buy his contract.

His time in Arabia was not positive at all; the player was never able to adapt to the country, so he was loaned to Fenerbahce in Turkey, where he had more playing time, but without becoming the same player we saw in the Premier League.

What will he bring to Club América?

He is a player with a lot of explosiveness, often using his physical power and skill to make his way through opponents with the goal of reaching the rival area.

Comparing him to Brian Rodríguez, who plays in the same position, he is a more aggressive player, with better dribbling, progression, and ease in one-on-one situations, but Brian is better when it comes to finishing and building up team plays.
