West Brom Refuses to Let Star Striker Josh Maja Leave Despite Transfer Interest
West Bromwich Albion is set to keep hold of their key striker, Josh Maja, despite mounting interest from clubs both within and outside of England ahead of the January transfer window.
According to club insider Callum Burgess, the Baggies have no intention of parting ways with the 25-year-old, who has been instrumental in their attack this season.
Maja, who joined West Brom earlier, has been in sensational form, scoring 10 goals in the Sky Bet Championship.
His remarkable performances have made him the current leading scorer in the competition.
His contribution has been critical for the team, and his ability to find the back of the net has made him a fan favorite.
While the Nigerian forward has caught the attention of several clubs, Burgess made it clear that West Brom will not entertain any offers for Maja.
The striker has become an essential part of the squad, and his importance to the team’s success is undeniable.
Burgess also shared that the prospect of Maja’s departure would come as a shock to many West Brom supporters.
He emphasized that Maja’s value to the team goes beyond just his goals, with his presence and influence on the pitch making him a cornerstone of the Baggies’ forward line.
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
