Transfers: Les Girondins put two Super Eagles stars on the market

The January transfer window opens in less than 24 hours, and clubs have already started making plans to make changes to their squad 

French Ligue 1 club Bordeaux have put Nigerian stars Samuel Kalu and Josh Maja on the transfer market. The Super Eagles stars are among the five players Les Girondins are open to selling when the transfer window opens in January.

According to Foot Mercato, per GFFN, Bordeaux want to sell these players to raise money to bring in reinforcements.

It has been a frustrating campaign for both Kalu and Maja. The former has played just 323 minutes of Ligue 1 football this season, with just one goal and one assist to show for it.

He has only played just two minutes of league football in Bordeaux’s last five matches. If Kalu’s case is bad, then Majar’s situation is worse.

The 23-year-old has not found life easy in the southwest of France since he moved from Sunderland in January 2019.

Maja is yet to play a league match under Vladimir Petković this season, with his lone appearance coming in the Coupe De France win over M’Zouasia. 

He spent the second part of last season on loan at Fulham, but he could not help the Cottagers avoid relegation from the Premier League.

Nonetheless, a move back to England could be on again.
