TBR’s View:
Saint-Maximin is the most high-profile player at the club right now and he is definitely the one individual that they need to build the team around, which is why securing his new contract will be a massive step in the right direction.
He may have only joined last year, but he’s delivered some eye-catching performances that surely will have made others take notice and he’s got the ability to play for an elite club competing at the top end of the table.
Despite a couple of injuries impacting his momentum, Saint-Maximin managed four goals and seven assisting 30 games across all competition last season.
The rapid left-winger draws defenders towards him to create space for others, he’s so difficult for opposition to deal with due to his sheer pace and close control, plus he a player adored by fans.
