Scott Parker Explains Why He Brought Josh Maja To Fulham On Deadline Day
Published: February 02, 2021Manager Scott Parker has explained his thinking behind the signing of Bordeaux winger Josh Maja on transfer deadline day.
The Nigeria international learnt his footballing trade at the Fulham academy before moves to Manchester City and Sunderland, so he won't have an issue adapting to life in the Premier League.
Parker revealed that he went for Maja because of his potential and expects him to follow in the footsteps of summer arrivals Antonee Robinson, Tosin Adarabioyo and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Asked at Tuesday's press conference if Maja is set to come straight in and get the goals, Parker answered : "Why? It's just I've not seen him at the moment. We'll have to work it out.
"I've brought Josh to the football club because of his big potential and the work we've done with Tosin, Antonee Robinson, Loftus-Cheek - all of these players have done fantastically well and I think Josh fits into the same bracket".
Maja is expected to link up with his new teammates on Tuesday, a day before they face off with Leicester City at Craven Cottage.
