My Take
Josh Maja interests me as a classic example of a forward whose early numbers demanded attention; 18 goals in 49 Sunderland appearances is no accident. Raised in the academies of Crystal Palace, Fulham and Manchester City, he absorbed elite coaching young, and his decision to represent Nigeria despite being English-born speaks to a player proud of his roots. I see a striker still searching for the right stage to deliver consistently, and that uncertainty is what makes him compelling to follow. If he rediscovers that finishing edge, there is a real goalscorer here, and I am curious to see where he lands.
