Rangers who are Scottish giants are reportedly interested in the signing of Super Eagles star Josh Maja who plays as a striker for Ligue 2 club Bordeaux in what could be a big move for the 24-year-old.

Bordeaux is currently fighting to get promotion to the French Ligue 1 and they occupy second position on the table with Josh Maja contributing 16 goals with six assists.

Should Bordeaux fail to secure promotion to the first division, then they may be losing the services of Josh Maja who will be tempted to move elsewhere.

According to the reports on OJB and Soccernet, those in charge of Rangers see Josh Maja as a player who can help them in their quest in the coming season, and they want to lure him to Scotland.

The Nigerian player however refused to make a concrete comment about his future at Bordeaux claiming that he will make a decision at the end of the season.

Josh Maja's statement on his future

“I can’t think about that at the moment. We have so many important games before the end of the season and I have to concentrate on that only. We’ll see what happens at the end of the season. I have to wait to hear what the management of this club says and whether they want to keep me.”

Man United wants Gift Orba

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Premier League giants Manchester United are reportedly monitoring Nigerian forward, Gift Orban, as a summer transfer option should they miss the signing of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

Osimhen is reported to be the Red Devils' main target following his impressive outing this term helping Napoli to win the Scudetto after waiting for 33 years.

However, landing Osimhen this summer may be difficult for United considering how other big European clubs are also looking for the signature of the Super Eagles star.

United are looking for a reliable young striker who can help the team for many years and they see Osimhen fitting into that category.

Man United are aware that Napoli may not sell Osimhen and they have put up Gift Orban as their plan B.
