About Saint
Allan Irénée Saint-Maximin (born 12 March 1997) is a French professional footballer who plays as a winger for Charlotte FC of Major League Soccer. Saint-Maximin began his professional career at Saint-Étienne as a teenager before joining Monaco, where he gained experience through loan spells at German side Hannover 96 and French club Bastia. After a brief stint at Nice, Saint-Maximin made his mark in the Premier League with Newcastle United, becoming a fan favorite for his electrifying performances. He later moved to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli before having a loan spell at Turkish side Fenerbahçe. Most recently, he had a short spell with Mexican club América before joining French club Lens. == Early life == Saint-Maximin was born on 12 March 1997 in Châtenay-Malabry, Hauts-de-Seine, a commune in the southwestern suburbs of Paris. The youngest of three children, his father, Alex, hailed from the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe and his mother, Nadège, was born in French Guiana in South America. At the time of his birth, his family resided in the town of Meudon where Saint-Maximin grew up playing football, mainly on the streets with his friends or on the pitch in Ris-Orangis whilst his parents worked; his father worked at Paris Diderot University and his mother stayed late as director of a school in Meudon. From an early age, Saint-Maximin learnt to speak English, as encouraged by his mother, in order to achieve his dream of playing in the Premier League. Growing up in a comfortable Christian home, Saint-Maximin, in his early school years, was given €10 by his mother every day, which he used to buy sweets for his school friends who could not afford such luxury – a sign of his early generosity.
