Published: February 04, 2021

Super Eagles striker Josh Maja has been pictured in Fulham's colours for the first time following his deadline day move from French Ligue 1 club Bordeaux.

The 22-year-old will be spending the remainder of the 2020-2021 season on loan at the Cottagers where he spent three years as a youngster.

Maja arrived in London on Tuesday but yesterday's Premier League clash against Leicester City came too soon for him.

He is contention to make his senior debut for Fulham having linked up with the squad ahead of the battle with West Ham and participated in today's training session at Motspur Park.

Fulham have confirmed that Maja will be wearing number 27 on the back of his jersey.

Speaking to FFC TV, Maja said : "I'm feeling good, I am feeling excited. Obviously proud to be back at the club I was when I was young. I'm ready for the opportunity , can't wait to get going."

Quizzed on his stint with the Fulham academy, he replied : "It was really good, really enjoyable. I spent some good years here, with a lot of good players that I played with.

"A lot of good coaching as well. I've got very happy memories of my time here".

Fulham have a non-obligatory option to sign Maja on a permanent deal at the end of the season for a fee of ten million euros.
