After the sudden end of the French Lique One, Girondin Bordeaux has announced Nigeria's Super Eagles striker Josh Maja has the club top scorer.

French government few days back announced that sporting activities will not resume in the country until September which led the league body into announcing the league end, BSN Reports.

The Nigeria youngster netted 8 goals alongside two other players Jimmy Briand and Nicolas De Préville.

He was named as the winner for playing game less than other contenders.

“Three Bordeaux players have the same number of goals on the podium! Josh Maja, Jimmy Briand and Nicolas De Préville have all scored eight times this season. First place, however, goes to the English striker (Maja),” the club said.

“Indeed, the former Sunderland player has played less. He has a goal ratio every 113 minutes. A better result than Jimmy Briand (1 goal / 222 minutes) and Nicolas De Préville (1 goal / 281 minutes).”

Maja made his debut for Nigeria's Super Eagles against Ukraine in an international friendly in 2019.
