West Brom close in on striker Josh Maja free transfer
Albion are closing in on the free transfer of former Sunderland and Bordeaux striker Josh Maja.
The 24-year-old underwent a medical at the Albion's training ground in Walsall yesterday and an announcement of his addition is likely to be imminent.
Maja checks in after his departure from French Ligue 2 outfit Bordeaux, who he called time on four-and-a-half years with at the end of his contract earlier this summer. The London-born striker netted 16 goals in 38 appearances last term as his side missed out on promotion back to the top tier.
Maja is a long-term target of the club and seen as a coup by Albion in the context of working against their current financial backdrop. Bordeaux were keen to retain his services this summer and there was a host of Championship interest, including from Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday. Rangers were also linked earlier in the window.
