Maja to make decision on his future within 48 hours

Highly-rated Sunderland striker Josh Maja will reportedly make a decision on his future within the next 48 hours.

According to claims made by the Daily Record, a decision is imminent from the striker, with interest rising.

The report claims that Celtic are one of the teams in the running to sign the striker, while there is also interest in France, Germany and the Premier League.

Maja has impressed this season with 15 goals in League One and the forward has been stalling on a new contract at Sunderland.

His current deal expires in the summer, meaning the January window is the last opportunity Sunderland have to cash in, or they face losing him for nothing at the end of the season.

The prospect of the player joining a top-flight club and returning to Sunderland on loan is not being ruled out at this stage, while it is also claimed a number of teams believe he is ready for first-team football straight away.
