Super Eagles forward, Moses Simon has completed a permanent transfer deal from Levante of Spain to Nantes in a four-year deal that will see him remain with the French club until 2024.
The French club announced this on its website yesterday that Simon’s new deal takes effect from July 1 to 2024 after joining the team on loan from Spanish side, Levante.
The Eagles striker has been efficient throughout this season as the most prolific offensive player (9 goals and 8 assists, all competitions), and he quickly adapted to French football, causing a lot of damage in the opposing defenses.
Fast, punchy and technical, he quickly proved to be to his advantage in the left lane of the yellow and green attack but also as a center-forward. Stirring and very skillful in front of the goal, it turned out to be a real offensive solution for Christian Gourcuff.
He is also comfortable with the right foot as the left foot, having played 30 matches this season under the Nantes colour and this made the fans to vote for him as Nantes Player of the season while his goal was awarded the strike of the season.
In another news, Nigeria forward Taiwo Awoniyi said he was feeling much better after suffering a head injury while in action for his Bundesliga side Mainz O5 in Sunday’s 1-0 home loss to Augsburg.
The 22-year-old Liverpool loanee was taken to the hospital after he was knocked out after an aerial challenge with Augsburg’s Nigeria-born defender Felix Uduokhai.
The game was stopped for about five minutes before Awoniyi was stretchered off after 23 minutes and replaced by Nigeria-born Austria international Karim Onisiwo.
“Yes, all okay now and I feel much better now” Awoniyi told NationSport from his base in Germany.
Earlier, Mainz 05 coach Achim Beierlorzer has stated that the former FIFA U-17 World Cup winner was ‘conscious and responsive’.
“Taiwo is conscious and responsive,” Beierlorzer said during his post-match interview. “He has suffered a severe concussion but can remember everything.” Following the defeat, Mainz are currently 15th in the Bundesliga table, two points above the relegation zone, after chalking up 31 points from 31 games.
Awoniyi joined Mainz on a one-year loan deal from Premier League runaway leaders Liverpool at the start of the season and has scored once in twelve Bundesliga appearances.
