Newcastle United, Crystal Palace and Huddersfield Town are reportedly interested in Josh Maja of Sunderland.

Newcastle United have been monitoring the situation of Sunderland forward Josh Maja, according to The Daily Mail.

Crystal Palace and Huddersfield Town are also reported to be interested in the 20-year-old Sunderland forward.

Sunderland owner Stewart Donald has revealed on Twitter that the youngster has decided not to sign a new contract, with his current deal running out at the end of the season.

According to The Daily Mail, the Black Cats could get as much as £5 million in transfer fees if they decide to cash in on the forward in the January transfer window.

Good signing for Newcastle United?

Maja is one of the best young forwards in League One and is playing well for Sunderland at the moment.

The 20-year-old has made 21 starts and two substitute appearances in League One for the Black Cats so far this season, scoring 14 goals in the process, according to WhoScored.

The young forward would be a very good signing for Newcastle in the long run, but the question is whether Sunderland would sell him to their bitter rivals.
