Transfers: Nigeria international Moses Simon joins Paris FC from Nantes

A statement of intent for the newly-promoted Ligue 1 McDonald's side? After announcing their first signing of the transfer window earlier this week, Paris FC have followed up with the official announcement of the signing of Nigerian international Moses Simon from FC Nantes.

The 29 year-old winger, who can also play centrally up front, has been an integral part of Les Canaris since arriving at Stade de Beaujoire in 2020. Now an experienced Ligue 1 McDonald's attacker, Simon made 32 appearances for Nantes last season and scored eight goals whilst registering 10 assists as Les Canaris avoided relegation. The Super Eagle has reached the Coupe de France final in 2023 and 2023, as well as representing his country with 82 caps and 28 goals in total.

One of Ligue 1's biggest african talents moves to the capital

Paris will be undergoing a Ligue 1 McDonald's campaign for the first time in 46 years. PFC have steadily been building this transfer window, firstly signing Nhoa Sangui from Stade de Reims before securing Simon from Nantes.

"Like other African players before him, he will forever be associated with the Club," said Nantes in a club statement bidding farewell to the player. "And while Moses Simon was one of the crowd's favourites, he always proclaimed his attachment to FC Nantes."

Stéphane Gilli's side secured second place last season in Ligue 2 BKT behind FC Lorient, six months after being taken over by one of France's richest families, the Arnault family, who teamed up with Red Bull. Les Parisiens will play their football next season at Stade Jean-Bouin, a stone's throw from the Parc des Princes and neighbours Paris Saint-Germain.
