French side Nantes have signed Super Eagles star, Simon Moses, on a four-year permanent deal valued at €6.5 million.

Simon joined Nantes on a season-long loan from Levante since last summer and an impressive run with the French side earned him a deal which will run 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 Moses Simon (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.”

“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 centre-forward.”

Simon who was named the Player of the Season for the Canary for the 2019/2020 campaign in May, took to his official Twitter handle to thank Levante for his time at the club, saying “you guys will always be in my heart.”



“I want to use this opportunity to formally say goodbye to everybody at
Levante,” he tweeted. “The fans, technical crew, management and my teammates for the love and acceptance you guys will always be in my heart.”

He added: “To my new family, Nantes, cheers to more better things to come by the grace of God.”
