As the start of the new Ligue 1 season in France draws near, teams have been improving on their squad for a better performance and FC Nantes are not left out.
Fresh from narrowly escaping relegation last season, the former French Cup champions have need to strengthen in several areas and defence is one of the key places where they need reinforcement.
As they struggle to tie Nigeria international forward Moses Simon to a new deal, they have now reached agreement with another Nigerian to bring the number of Nigerians at the club to two.
According to L’equipe Nantes and Boavista have found an agreement for 26 year old Nigeria international Chidozie Awaziem to join the club for a second spell but this time around on a permanent deal for a fee in the region of €4m. He will sign a four year deal.
Awaziem spent the 2017/2018 season at the club on loan from FC Porto, he left Porto permanently for Boavista two seasons ago. Last season he was on loan at Croatian side Hajduk Split.
