Sunderland forward Josh Maja is reportedly on Everton’s radar.

Everton are interested in signing Josh Maja, with the Sunderland forward on the radar of Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, Southampton, Middlesbrough and Millwall as well, according to The Northern Echo.

Maja is one of the best young forwards in League One and is out of contract at Sunderland at the end of the season.

The 19-year-old has made 14 starts and two substitute appearances in League One for Sunderland so far this season, scoring 10 goals in the process, according to WhoScored.

Good long-term signing for Everton

Maja is only 19 years of age, and the teenager is still developing and progressing as a footballer.

However, there is no doubt that the young forward would be a good signing for Everton in the long run.

The Toffees do need an established striker right now, and although Maja is not going to be the instant success at Goodison Park, he will be good for the Merseyside outfit in the long run.

Sunderland, though, should do their best to tie down Maja to a long-term contract and at least get a decent transfer fee for the forward next summer.
