Former Super Eagles defender Joseph Yobo has advised Nantes winger Moses Simon to consider a move to Everton in the English Premier League.

The 29-year-old has been on Everton’s radar following his impressive campaign with the Yellow Canaries this season.

Recent reports have also linked the former Gent winger with a move to Trabzonspor in the Turkish Süper Lig.

However, Yobo is confident that a move to the Merseyside club would be ideal for the Nigerian winger.

“I don’t know the truth about the reports that he wants to leave Nantes, but if he were to leave, it would have to be for the Premier League, which is where he should play next,” Yobo said in a chat with Africa Foot.

“It’s long overdue, given his ability, versatility, and experience. I mean, why not? He is—and has always been—good enough for English football.

“If the reports of Everton’s interest are true, and above all, serious, then it would be even better.

“I played on Merseyside for almost a decade, and I know the football culture there—it’s enormous. This would be an ideal transfer for him, as his impact and speed are well-suited to Everton.”
