Sunderland set for Nigeria star 'Josh Maja' transfer windfall

SUNDERLAND are set to receive a seven-figure transfer windfall in the summer - thanks to Fulham's deadline-day move for their former striker, Josh Maja, BSNSports.com.ng reports. Fulham are signing Maja on a season-long loan from his current employers, Bordeaux. However, the Cottagers are also pushing for the inclusion of a clause in the deal that will enable them to complete a permanent deal for Maja in the summer. Maja is valued at around £10m, and Fulham's clause is expected to be around that figure. Sunderland sold Maja to Bordeaux in January 2019 and, crucially, inserted a sell-on clause into the deal that took the forward to Ligue 1. The Black Cats are understood to be guaranteed ten per cent of any future transfer fee for Maja - money that will come in extremely useful if Fulham complete the permanent signing of the forward in the summer.
