Josh Maja
Bordeaux has confirmed Nigeria’s call-up for Josh Maja for their friendly game against Ukraine on September 10.
Born in London to Nigerian parents, the 20-year-old is eligible to play for the Super Eagles and the England national team.
Last month, Gernot Rohr revealed he reached out to Maja during his visit to France in order persuade him to pledge his allegiance to the West Africans.
Maja will now link up with his club teammate Samuel Kalu along with 23 other invited players for the warm-up game in Dnipro.
