ALLAN SAINT-MAXIMIN stole the show for Nice last week after he not only netted the winner against Bordeaux… but also wore a Gucci headband worth £180.
The 21-year-old luckily escaped the wrath of Ligue 1 chiefs after he covered up the logo with white tape.

The French top-flight’s regulations prohibit the display of non-sponsoring brands, while the player himself is sponsored by Puma.
But he certainly left all eyes on him by sporting the designer label’s headband – fresh from their 2018 Cruise collection.
The red stripes across the cream background is inspired by sweatbands worn by players during the 1980s.
Saint-Maximin binned the brand for his last outing when Patrick Vieira’s side came up against Thierry Henry’s Monaco.

Donning a black headband to match Nice‘s all black away kit, the French youth international showed he can still dazzle without the expensive attire.
He broke the deadlock in the 30th minute after robbing the defender on the half-way line, before coolly slotting into the bottom corner.
It was his fifth goal of the season for Nice, and he will be hoping his fine form could see him called up to Didier Deschamps’ next Les Bleus squad.
His side currently sit an impressive sixth in the table – just four points behind fourth-placed Lyon.
