Allan Saint-Maximin

Analysis: Saint-Maximin arrives in MLS with extensive experience across Europe's top leagues and a reputation as one of the game's most dynamic dribblers. The 28-year-old winger most recently helped Lens finish second in Ligue 1 and win the Coupe de France, recording four goals and three assists in 13 appearances after joining the club in February. He previously starred for Newcastle United, tallying 13 goals and 21 assists in 124 Premier League matches before moves to Al-Ahli, Fenerbahce and Club America. Known for his pace, creativity and flair in one-on-one situations, Saint-Maximin is expected to become a centerpiece of Charlotte's attack and one of MLS's marquee talents.

Option to face PSG

Saint-Maximin (undisclosed) is an option for play after being left off the injured list, according to manager Pierre Sage.

Analysis: Saint-Maximin had to miss out on the club's last match as a precaution, but is now back and ready for action, with the attacker not amongst the injured players. This will give his club another viable option off the bench, potentially appearing later to give the attack a boost, recording three goals and three assists in nine appearances (two starts) this campaign.
