West Brom to block Super Eagles striker’s January exit

West Bromwich Albion will not cash in on the goals of Super Eagles striker Josh Maja by selling him in January.

Maja is one of the leading scorers in the English Championship with 10 goals and he has already begun to attract interest from even outside England.

His club though have fallen out of the promotion playoffs bracket after they drew their last three games.

West Brom expert Callum Burgess claimed that a sale of the striker in January is unlikely.

He believes their hard stance on Tom Fellows last summer showed they are tough to negotiate with, and that remaining at The Hawthorns would be best for the striker at this stage of his career anyway.

“It would be a move that many Albion fans wouldn’t have seen coming,” Burgess told Football League World.

“And nor would they expect it to formalise either because of Maja’s such high importance to the team.

“In the summer, we showed that with Tom Fellows, we don’t make things easy for other teams when they try to sign our players.”
