Josh Maja has impressed in League One with Sunderland and has been linked with numerous Premier League and Championship clubs.
The prospect of losing Josh Maja in January is a very real one for Sunderland.
The Black Cats are desperately attempting to tie down their star striker, who has scored 12 goals in all competitions this season, but the youngster is out of contract at the end of this campaign as things stand.
And this has not gone unnoticed. According to the Sunderland Echo, the Wearside outfit have already received two offers for Maja with the January transfer window just weeks away.
It is understood that a number of Championship clubs are keeping tabs on the 20-year-old, while he has also been linked with some Premier League sides of late.
According to the Mirror, Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur have expressed an interest, as have Manchester City, who Maja represented at youth level before moving to Sunderland. Maja is believed to be valued at £6 million.
Interestingly, the report does not point out which clubs have made an offer for Maja and it remains to be seen whether the striker himself wants to stay at Sunderland and help Jack Ross’s side secure a return to the second tier.
