Nigeria international winger Moses Simon is back in training with French Ligue 1 side Nantes but there is still a huge doubt about his future at the club with two years left on his deal.
Simon finished last season on a high by leading Nantes to the French Cup title, their first in over twenty years, he also impressed for Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations and in the process earned himself a spot in the nomination list for the Africa footballer of the year award.
He missed out on the final ten man shortlist for the award but teams are still keen on having the forward in their sqaud for next season moreso that this absence for a while from Nantes pre season led to talks of the 26 year old pushing a move.
His future has dominated discussions with reported interest from three English Premier League side in Leeds United, Newcastle United and Brighton and Hove Albion. He is however still at Nantes with OGC Nice the only team reported to have put in an official bid for him.
The bid was rejected by Nantes but recent reports had is that he isn’t keen on a move to any team in the English Premier League, and it was out forward to Mohammed Mowiz Suleiman during the course of his radio show on Liberty Radio Kaduna.
Mowiz has a very good relationship with the forward and a listener asked why Simon isn’t keen on a move to the English Premier League preferring to remain in France even if he leaves Nantes.
” There are several issues attached to that move. It’s Simon’s dream to play in the English Premier League like every other football player but there are issues like family that he has to put into consideration hence the preference to remain in France. Maybe he is also waiting for PSG. That’s a joke anyway”, he said.
