Marseille Warned To Pay Attention To Bordeaux New Star Josh Maja

Published: December 06, 2019

Marseille have been warned to play close attention to Super Eagles striker Josh Maja when they face Bordeaux in the French Ligue 1 on Sunday night at the Orange Vélodrome (Marseille).

Only three days ago, Maja netted his first hat-trick as a professional as Bordeaux hammered Nimes 6-0 and was also credited with an interest for the fourth goal scored by Nicolas de Préville, marking him out as one of the Bordeaux players that the Marseille defenders have to pay special attention to.

Ahead of Bordeaux trip to the Orange Vélodrome, Bordeaux reporter Clement Carpentier was contacted by lephoceen.fr to provide some insight about the Bordeaux team.

He said : ''Yes, it's the new ones and even the ones who were already there, the difference is that Sousa gets the most out of them, like De Préville or Otavio, it's day and night for these two players.

''And then, the young Anglo-Nigerian striker Josh Maja, who is in the squad and who has just scored a hat-trick against Nîmes''.

A very talented player signed from Sunderland in the January transfer window, Maja is the joint highest goalscorer for Bordeaux in the league this season with 5 goals in 14 games and has played less minutes than de Préville, who has the same number of goals.
