Allan Saint-Maximin confirms Newcastle departure before expected Saud Arabia move

French winger Allan Saint-Maximin has confirmed he is leaving Newcastle United, saying his "greatest trophy" was playing for the club.

Saint-Maximin, 26, is expected to join Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro League, run by the country's Public Investment Fund (PIF) - which also owns Newcastle.

He scored 13 goals in 124 games after joining in August 2019 from Nice.

"Even though this chapter has ended, the story never stops. Newcastle is home now," he said.

"I'll continue to be your biggest supporter."

Newcastle finished fourth last season and will return to the Champions League for the first time in 20 years.
