Saint-Maximin: I want to change the rules like Michael Jordan did

Allan Saint-Maximin is a very different football player from those who have come before him. He has the air of someone who plays purely for his own enjoyment.

His speed and dribbling ability has caught the eye in the Premier League and also on the FIFA 22 video game where he has become a heavily used player.

Saint-Maximin is by far the player who has completed the most dribbles [150 out of 252] in the five major European leagues.
