Everton Keeping Tabs On The Only Nigerian Player To Net Hat-trick Europe's Top 5 Leagues This Season
Published: December 25, 2019Everton are keeping tabs on one-cap Nigeria international Josh Maja, according to reports emanating from the French press.
French journalist Ignazio Genuardi has tweeted that the Toffees made a check on the former Sunderland starlet during Bordeaux's 1-0 loss to Strasbourg on December 15 and added that other unnamed Premier League clubs are watching the striker.
Chelsea have been credited with an interest in the 20-year-old ahead of the reopening of the transfer window.
The fact that the Bordeaux number nine shares the same agent as Everton's Alex Iwobi and ex-Toffees winger Ademola Lookman gives credence to the reports of a possible move to Goodison Park.
Maja was associated with English clubs Crystal Palace, Fulham and Manchester City before transferring to the Black Cats in 2015.
Overall, he has tallied 24 goals in 73 matches since turning professional and has produced four assists.
