Tottenham Hotspur reportedly keen on Sunderland striker Josh Maja

Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on Sunderland striker Josh Maja, according to Mirror Football, and the north London side have stiff competition to beat to his signature, with Manchester City and Southampton also keen.

The 19-year-old is currently League One’s highest goalscorer after netting nine goals in 12 appearances for the Black Cats this season, and he is starting to attract interests from Premier League sides.

Spurs need a backup to Harry Kane, with Fernando Llorente failing to impress since arriving from Swansea two summers ago, and Maja could be a perfect option for many reasons.
