The Frenchman's post on Instagram was short but sweet, saying - "What a player. Welcome my friend!'
As a former Ligue 1 star, Saint-Maximin will know all about Guimaraes' form in France, with him one of the top performing midfielders in Europe and a current Brazilian international as a result.
After all, he is is one of only three players in Europe's top 5 leagues (based on 10+ starts) to average 1.5+ tackles, 1.5+ dribbles, 1.5+ key passes and 1.5+ fouls won per game this season, while only Dimitri Payet (Marseille) and Kylian Mbappe (PSG) have created more chances from open play than the 24-year-old!
