The Bordeaux striker enjoyed a loan stint at Craven Cottage two seasons ago, scoring three goals in 15 league appearances.

Maja, 24, is in redhot form in France’s Ligue 2 and is currently the top scorer with 11 goals and three assists in 19 league appearances.

Spanish side Real Valladolid are also keeping tabs on Maja but he recently confirmed speculation that he was signing a new deal with Bordeaux.

It is believed the Cottagers would have to pay around £4m to land Maja in this transfer window.

He was said to be close to a move to Birmingham City in the last transfer window before the deal broke down.

Marco Silva is keen to bolster his options in attack to go alongside star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The Serbian forward, 28, has hit a staggering 11 Prem goals already this term.

But he recently saw his penalty against Newcastle ruled out following a rarely seen blunder of touching the ball TWICE.

Fulham are flying high in the top-flight in sixth position, above the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea, and on 31 points.

Fulham’s only other striker option is Carlos Vinicius – who bagged his first goal for the Cottagers in the recent 2-1 win over Chelsea.

Silva’s side have also been linked with a move for Arsenal right-back Cedric Soares.
