Saint-Maximin wants to be like Michael Jordan

Allan Saint-Maximin is as charasmatic off the pitch as he is on it. Most recently he has created a moment to remember after his comments have raised a few eyebrows in England.

The Frenchman is the player with the most completed dribbles in all of Europe's top leagues. This is just one of the many reasons why Newcastle have secured his future at the club with a contract until 2026.

He recently sat down with 'So Foot' for an interview to offer a few words about his goals as a player. "I want to make a mark, change the rules, this is my target. I want to achieve what Michael Jordan did. He changed the lives of a few people. That's the real beauty", he expressed. 

However, what he said after this was even more surprising: "People who play with me know full well that, in terms of pure quality, I have nothing to envy Sadio Mane about. The day when I have a player who can finish off the 10-15 chances I create for them a season, will be the time when I change people's perceptions of me."
