Girondins Bordeaux’s manager David Guion has showered praises on one-cap Super Eagles striker Josh Maja following his brilliant start to the 2022-2023 campaign.
The Nigerian forward has contributed ten (seven goals and three assists) of Les Girondins’ 17 goals as the joint league leaders seek to get back to Ligue 1 following the club’s demotion to the lower division last term.
In an interview with L’Equipe, Guion said of Maja: “We had to get him back into shape physically when he arrived, but he quickly showed his importance to the team in my memory; I have rarely seen a striker so clinical in front of goal.
“His release is exceptional. It’s a very, very high level. He’s also very intelligent and knows where he wants to go. You don’t have to bullshit him. Here, he knows that he is going to reach a huge level. It’s a win-win situation with him.”
