With numerous reports linking Bordeaux forward Josh Maja to a move to the Villa Park, some Aston Villa fans have shown their displeasure with such a transfer.
The Claret & Blue Army are believed to be desperately in search of a new centre forward with their top striker, Brazil international Wesley, set to miss the rest of the season due to injury. The 23-year-old suffered a knee ligament damage in the Villans’ 2-1 win at Burnley.
The likes of Chelsea’s Belgium international Michy Batshuayi and former Arsenal and Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor have been linked with a move to Villa Park in recent days.
Former Sunderland attacker Josh Maja – already making waves in the Ligue 1 – is also another option reportedly being considered by Villa boss, Dean Smith.
However, certain fans of The Lions will have anyone but the 22-year-old Maja with some lamenting the Nigerian international’s lack of experience
One fan would rather have Maja’s compatriot, Victor Osimhen instead while another thinks it’s too much of a gamble to pin the club’s Premier League survival hopes on the tender shoulders of the youngster.
Here are some more responses to the transfer update:
Not doing bad at Bordeaux, but I doubt he's the right one

Nonsense. Linked to everyone. Agent pushing move.

Some other fans, however, believe Josh Maja could be the solution to the club’s immediate striking problems.

Scores goals, makes his own chances and almost every one for Sunderland was in the corner. He’s clinical and still very young.
