Super Eagles winger Moses Simon is reportedly linked to a big money move to the Premier League, with Everton interested in his signature.
According to a report by Africa Foot, Everton scouts have closely monitored the Nantes star in recent weeks, with a potential bid expected at the end of the current campaign.
Simon has been a familiar face in the Super Eagles squad since receiving his first call-up to the Nigeria national team by coach Daniel Amokachi in March 2015 and made his debut on the 25th of the same month in an international friendly against Uganda, when he replaced Anthony Ujah after 59 minutes in the game.

The 29-year-old has been in top gear for Nantes this season, providing seven goals and nine assists in 27 appearances, to become one of Nigeria’s most consistent performers in Europe.

He was also in action for Nantes in the 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night.
The winger, known for his pace, dribbling, and ability to create chances from the flanks, still has two years left on his contract with Nantes, which runs until June 2027. However, the Canaries are reportedly open to letting him go for an offer in the region of €15 million.
Everton, currently battling to secure their Premier League status, are already planning for next season and see Simon as a valuable addition to bolster their attacking options. His experience, versatility, and creativity could offer the Toffees a much-needed spark in the final third.

If the move to the Premier League materialises, it would mark Simon’s first stint in English football after spells in Spain and France. With the summer window approaching, the Nigeria international could finally get his long-awaited move to the Premier League, where he’ll aim to further raise his profile on a bigger stage.
