This article from the English top-flight’s official website states that in addition to June, ‘the first half of March has also been considered in deciding the contenders.’
Saint-Maximin made three Premier League appearances for the Toon during March and June, earning an average overall rating of more than 8/10 in each of those games. With that in mind, it may be understandable why these Toon fans seem to believe that the winger is more than worthy of a place on this shortlist.
