Koscielny who has played with some of the game’s best forward’s believes his young teammate is one of the strikers in the Bordeaux squad.
“He (Maja) is certainly one of the best strikers in the squad. He can score with his right foot, left foot and has power too. There are very few players who can do this, “Koscielny told Ligue 1 official website.
“He is good in the air too. He is very good. Physically he is also very strong as he has good experience playing in England. So he knows what duels means.”
