Tottenham Hotspur chase free-scoring striker
according to Latest reports from SpainTottenham Hotspur are interested in West Bromwich Albion forward Josh Maja.
As well as the Lilywhites, Premier League giants Chelsea are also reportedly interested in the 26-year-old striker this month.
While competition from the big-spending Blues is far from ideal for the north Londoners, the good news is that the former Sunderland ace is reportedly worth around £15m, which is a lot for a back-up striker. It’s something the club can easily afford. Prove legal.
It could be a complicated move, but given Mahar’s form this season and Spurs’ need for a replacement for Solanke, it’s worth pursuing, especially because of the similarities with Gray’s move in the summer.
How does Maja compare to Solanke and Gray?
Well, as we take a look at Mahar’s performance this season and how he would compete with Solanke if he joined Tottenham, let’s explore the key similarities between his potential move and Gray.
The most striking similarity is that, like the teenager’s move, the north Londoners will pounce on one of the best players in the Championship side’s pursuit of promotion.
Granted, the 26-year-old forward’s potential upside is far smaller than that of the teenage star, but as he Currently West Brom’s top scorerArguably, he is even more important to them than the Englishman is to Leeds.
So how does the Lewisham-born poacher’s season compare to Solanke’s this year?
Well, just now Made 26 appearances for the BaggiesA total of 2077 minutes, the striker dubbed “sensational” Nigerian football writer Sam AuduThere have been 12 goals scored, an average of one every 2.16 games or every 173 minutes.

In contrast, Postkoglu’s starting center 28 appearances and 11 timesa total of 2158 minutes, which means he currently averages a goal every 2.54 games or every 196.18 minutes.
Now, while that comparison does shine a bright light on the Nigeria international, it’s important to add that the former Bournemouth star has also provided six assists to his two this season, And the Englishman is operating in a more challenging league.
However, even with this extra background, Mahar’s performances this season have still been impressive, and while he shouldn’t be viewed as an upgrade to Solanke, he will almost certainly be a useful backup, especially in the managerial role. Charlison continues to be plagued by injury setback after injury setback.
Therefore, as long as the price remains at £15m, Daniel Levy and Co. should consider bringing the West Brom ace to N17 as he would be a valuable squad player while they transfer from the Championship side The last signings signed are heading into N17. The team is great.
