Allan Saint-Maximin has penned an emotional message to Al Ahli fans after his season-long spell in Saudi Arabia came to an end.The 27-year-old former Newcastle forward left St. James’ Park for Saudi last summer but is on the move again having signed with Turkish club Fenerbahce, managed by Jose Mourinho.“After a year in Saudi Arabia, it is time for me to take on a new challenge. I didn’t expect to leave so soon, but life is full of surprises!” Saint Maximin said.
“Last season wasn’t easy, but we pushed through, and I’m happy that we managed to secure third place in the league. Overall, I enjoyed being with exceptional teammates. Seriously, I made brothers for life in this team! I am truly grateful for the experience and your warm support.“I wish I could have given you more. With proper pre-season training, I wanted to offer so much more, but next season, my story will be written elsewhere as I am going on loan for a year to a new club.
