Fulham boss Scott Parker is convinced by the quality of new addition Josh Maja.

The 22-year-old striker, who spent time in the Cottagers' youth set-up before making his senior breakthrough with Sunderland, joined Fulham on loan from Bordeaux for the remainder of the season on deadline day.

“He's settling in fine. His first day's training (was) today, so he flew over or came into us yesterday," Parker said when asked about the latest addition to the squad.

“(In) his first training session he settled in really well. (It was) a lighter session, but we're looking forward to having him. I'm very pleased we've got him with us and have got him on board and I'm looking forward to seeing his qualities and working with him.

“A young player which we hope we can try and develop as well as him trying to help us at the top end of the pitch."

Fulham play host to high-flying West Ham on Saturday and Parker hopes Maja will be available.

The manager added: “I need to speak with him after today's session and see where he is, get another session into him tomorrow as well but I think he'll be involved in some capacity."
