Allan Saint-Maximin collects double award and thanks Newcastle United supporters

Allan Saint-Maximin has collected his Covid-delayed awards for winning Chronicle player of the year for 2020 and 2021 and the delighted Toon star hopes his haul is the start of many more accolades to come.

Saint-Maximin joined the club from Nice in 2019 and has not looked back scoring 12 goals and creating 16 assists in just 93 matches for the club.

After collecting the awards - provided by Planet Trophies of West Moor - the United ace said: "I am really proud to be named the Chronicle fans player of the year for 2020 and 2021.

"I don't think of myself, because the team are more important than me. I have a really good relationship with the fans - if I didn't have this relationship with the Newcastle supporters I'd not be here now.

"So the supporters are really important to me, I love them, I love the club. The supporters help me play better. I will never forget that."
