The 20 year-old Lewisham-born striker left League One Sunderland to join the Ligue 1 side in January and has impressed during his brief time in the south of France. Maja featured 41 times for the Black Cats between 2016 and 2019 before opting to continue his career abroad, despite purported Premier League interest from Tottenham and West Ham . It’s clear the Premier League is one of the best in the world, with the best teams. "I have always wanted to play abroad," Maja said. He is yet to add to the 16 goals he netted for Sunderland in League One before upping sticks and heading for France.
