The upheaval that overtook FC Nantes impacted adversely on the performance of Moses Simon this past season in the French Ligue 1.
The fast wideman was widely expected to build on a performance that had earned him a permanent transfer from La Liga after a successful loan spell the previous campaign.
SCORENigeria Top 30 ranked him as high as fifth in the previous season review, but he has now slipped to No 23 in the latest ratings.
‘The Canaries’ changed two coaches within the season as they fought to stay afloat in the French top flight after a previous campaign that saw them push to play in Europe.
‘Daddy’ scored six goals and provided five assists in Ligue 1, but FC Nantes still had to play in the relegation/promotion playoffs with Toulouse to keep their place in the top league.
The hard working winger still has a contract with Nantes until June 2024, but already speculations are rife that he may not see it through.
Another Ligue 1 club, OGC Nice, are believed to be front runners to sign him this summer transfer window.
His transfer market value is put at seven Million Euros after FC Nantes forked out five Million Euros to snap him from UD Levante in La Liga last summer.
Moses Simon has continued to make the Super Eagles squad, but his main rival remains Samuel Kalu of Bordeaux who has endured a difficult season no thanks to injuries, but still enjoys the confidence of coach Gernot Rohr.
