In October last year, news broke about the sale of Newcastle. The club was managed by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund and the British media started talking about big bucks in contracts. Today, almost a year later, the one in charge of showing the good economic present of the ‘Magpies’ players, was Allan San Massimino.
In these hours the French striker made headlines for a video that he uploaded to his social networks and in which he can be seen making a particular gesture with some fans. Among dozens of fans looking for the ‘selfie’, the striker came to see two fans who had a French flag with his name on them. Saint-Maximin approached and before putting his signature on the flag, he returned the kindnesses and gave a gift to the fans.

A T-shirt? A pair of boots? Not even close. The attacker gave away nothing more and nothing less than an exclusive watch from the Rolex brand. The fans, unable to believe it, managed to reach the fibrón, so much so that Saint-Maximin finished signing the flag. The striker complied with the request of the fans, but before leaving he gave him one last watch. Subsequently, he captured the video on the networks.
In the publication, which already has more than 100 thousand interactionsthe French wrote: “With the enormous support you always give me, these little attentions are the least I can do to thank you”. And in the comments they couldn’t believe it.
What was also clear is that this action has to do with a collaboration between Saint-Maximin and the brand helium, dedicated to the concept of NFT and cryptocurrencies. For this reason, the attacker closed the text accompanying the publication in this way: “These are the values of the Helios community. Join me to be part of this journey”.
And the English brand, for its part, also made publications on its social networks, where it showed the unusual moment that was experienced in San Giacomo Park, but from an unprecedented point of view. There, the reaction of the Newcastle fans could be seen even better, who froze when they saw the clock in the striker’s hands.
This moment took place on Saturday in the center of ‘Magpies’, a few minutes after the victory of those led by Eddie Howe against Nottingham Forest. For the lucky fans, who enjoyed Newcastle’s resounding victory and walked away with a watch a few minutes later, it will surely be a weekend to remember. For Saint-Maximin also appears in the 2-0 of his team.
