What makes Maja’s performances even more significant is his consistency. As West Brom looks to maintain their push for promotion, Maja’s ability to deliver in crucial moments will be vital. His sharpness and awareness in front of the goal show that he is capable of leading the attack and helping the team maintain their unbeaten streak.
With the season still young, Maja’s goal scoring form could see him become a contender for individual accolades. If he continues to produce performances like this, it will be hard for national team selectors to ignore him for upcoming Super Eagles call ups.
