Josh Maja is set on a move abroad with Bordeaux the favourites to secure his signature, according to the Sunderland Echo.

The Black Cats had hoped to tie the 20-year-old striker to a new deal but he has refused to put pen to paper on fresh terms.

With his current contract set to expire this summer, the youngster is now free to talk to foreign clubs and also has interest from both West Ham and Cardiff.

Maja has scored 16 goals in all competitions for League One Sunderland but it is understood the forward, who was born in London to Nigerian parents, is keen on a move overseas with Bordeaux emerging as favourites for his signature on Wednesday.

Should Sunderland receive a monetary offer this month, they would have to decide whether to cash in or keep Maja for their promotion push back to the Championship.
