Super Eagles star, Simon Moses, has signed a new four-year permanent deal with the French side, Nantes, valued at €6.5 million.
The Nigerian, who had been on a season-long loan to the French side from Levantes since last summer, will now stay with the Yellow and Green until the 1st of July, 2024.
“FC Nantes has exercised the option to purchase from the Spanish Levante Unión Deportiva (La Liga) club for the definitive transfer of Simon Moses (24) to FC Nantes,” the club said in a statement.
“Loaned this season to the Yellow and Green, the Nigerian international will be linked to the Erdre Banks Club until 2024, from July 1, 2020.”
Hence, the club described Simon Moses as instrumental to the team’s outing this season where he bagged nine goals and eight assists in all competitions.
“Moses Simon quickly adapted to French football, causing a lot of damage in the opposing defenses!” the club said, adding that his pacy nature “quickly proved to be to his advantage in the left lane of the yellow and green attack but also as a center-forward.”
