West Bromwich Albion are determined to retain the services of Super Eagles striker Josh Maja and will resist any attempts to sell him during the January transfer window. The prolific forward has been one of the standout performers in the English Championship this season, netting 10 goals and catching the eye of clubs both within and beyond England. Despite his growing reputation and interest from other teams, West Brom remains resolute in their commitment to keeping him at The Hawthorns.

Maja’s goalscoring prowess has been a vital asset for the Baggies, even though the team has stumbled recently, falling out of the promotion playoff spots after a string of three consecutive draws. His importance to the squad cannot be overstated, as he continues to be a focal point in their attack. West Brom insiders, such as club expert Callum Burgess, believe that letting Maja leave mid-season would significantly weaken the team’s chances of achieving their ambitions this campaign. Burgess emphasized that the club’s firm approach to negotiations, as demonstrated in the case of Tom Fellows last summer, is a strong indicator of their resolve.

According to Burgess, a move for Maja in January is unlikely and would be surprising to fans given his significance to the squad. He suggested that staying at The Hawthorns is also in Maja’s best interest for his development at this stage of his career. “It would be a move that many Albion fans wouldn’t have seen coming,” Burgess explained to Football League World. “And nor would they expect it to formalize either because of Maja’s such high importance to the team. In the summer, we showed that with Tom Fellows, we don’t make things easy for other teams when they try to sign our players.” His comments underline West Brom’s steadfast stance and their belief that keeping Maja is crucial to their ongoing campaign.
