Maynard delighted to keep in-demand Jatta at Notts
Maynard confirmed that one bid for their leading scorer had been rejected in early January, while there was "a lot of interest" for the 26-year-old Gambian throughout.
There had been reports that Championship side Plymouth had a £750,000 bid turned down for a player recruited from Danish side Viborg for just over £100,000 a year ago.
"Jatta was fully focused, as you saw in his performances in the January window," Maynard told BBC Radio Nottingham.
"It's very easy when there is speculation to take your eye off the ball a little, but he didn't - he trained like a true professional, like he does every day and gives everything.
Could in-demand Notts striker Jatta be on the move?
Notts County sign striker Traore from Fredrikstad
Jatta started all of Notts' matches in January and scored twice in six games that month to take his goal tally to 16 across all competitions this season.
He has been instrumental in Notts' surge up the standings and into the League Two automatic promotion spots, having scored six goals and created two others during a run of seven wins in nine matches since mid-December.
"We are delighted to keep him," Maynard said.
"It's really important for the football club, especially for the back-end of the season.
"The way AJ has performed this season has been incredible, and not just with the goal return, but his worth ethic and everything he brings to the team."

How to watch Premier League online with a VPN
The new Premier League season is almost upon us, and it's set to be a fascinating campaign. Once again, huge sums of money have been spent in the off-season, not least by reigning champions Liverpool who have brought in the likes of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike. Runners-up Arsenal have also strengthened in a bid to land their first title since 2004, with Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi and Noni Madueke all arriving at the Emirates. Man City and Chelsea have also boosted their ranks with a host of new signings and will be determined to launch a title challenge. It's not just the battle at the top of the table that promises to be fascinating. Tottenham and Man United are looking for a refresh after disastrous league campaigns, Bournemouth have lost virtually their entire defence, while the promoted trio of Leeds, Burnley and Sunderland are desperate to avoid an immediate return to the Championship. It promises to be an intriguing season, so you won't want to miss any of the action. Read on as we explain how to watch Premier League online from anywhere with a VPN. If you have holidays planned or find yourself abroad for an extended period of time, it can be difficult to use your usual soccer streams as many are georestricted. This is where a VPN comes in helpful as you can use it to watch your home service. Australian, Canadian and Ukrainian residents will find it particularly helpful as they have access to all 380 Premier League games through Stan Sport (AU$32/month), Fubo (CA$24.99/month) and Setanta ($2.63/month). A good VPN will let you set your IP address to (almost) any country, so you can tune into any streaming service around the world. It's ideal if you're traveling abroad. There's a ton of VPNs around, but many are not particularly good or reliable. That's why we love NordVPN – it's secure and works with almost any streaming service including Fubo, Stan Sport and Setanta.

Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're visiting the U.S. and want to view a Ukrainian service, you'd select a Ukraine server from the location list. 3. Sit back and enjoy the show. Head to your streaming service app — so Setanta for example — and watch the 2025/26 Premier League. We test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example: 1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service). 2.
