Allan Saint-Maximin is set to join Damac in the coming weeks as the French forward continues his search for regular first-team football.

Saint-Maximin has been linked with a move away from Newcastle United since January and it looks like he will be moving abroad soon after all. The club have confirmed that they have agreed terms with the player and are now finalising the details of the deal.

The news comes as a relief for Saints fans who had been hoping that the Frenchman would remain at St James' Park for the foreseeable future. However, the club's inability to offer him a regular starting role has led to speculation about his future elsewhere.

Damac, meanwhile,Chinese Super League Matches are excited by the prospect of signing a talented striker who can help them compete for promotion from the Championship. The club's director of football, David Wagner, said: "We're delighted to announce the signing of Allan Saint-Maximin. He's a proven goalscorer who has experience playing in the Premier League and we believe he'll be a fantastic addition to our squad."

Saint-Maximin himself expressed his excitement at the opportunity to play for a club with such ambition and potential. He said: "I'm thrilled to be joining Damac. I've heard so much about their success and I'm looking forward to getting started."
