Would you want the club to sign Josh Maja this summer?
Yes
No
The 21-year-old, who is currently valued at £5.67 million according to Transfermarkt, scored 17 goals in 49 appearances for the senior Sunderland team before making a move to Bordeaux in January 2019 (per Transfermarkt). Now that Maja has been linked with a move back to England with West Ham and Crystal Palace reportedly interested in his signature, this has sparked a big reaction from Hammers fans on Twitter.
Gets goals but happy to jump ship when it suits him.

Josh Maja looked a great player with huge potential when he initially burst onto the scene at Sunderland – should have stayed in England and not allowed his agent to put money before football. West Ham have had mercenaries before, Arnautovic being most recent; don’t need another.

Am I the only one that thinks this could be interesting when we are linked with someone… then when you read the next bit and Crystal Palace you then think he can’t be that great then

What do we think?
It appears that these West Ham fans are not fully taken with the idea of the club making a move for Maja in the summer.
