Lyon interested in signing Moses Simon from Nantes

Lyon is looking to strengthen its squad in the January transfer window, and the club has reportedly identified Moses Simon as a potential target.

The 28-year-old Nigerian winger is out of contract at Nantes at the end of the season, and he is free to negotiate with other clubs from January.

Lyon has made contact with Simon’s representatives to gauge his interest in a move to the Ligue 1 club.However, Nantes is not keen to let Simon go in January. The club is hoping to convince him to sign a new contract.

Negotiations between the two clubs are expected to be difficult, as Simon’s representatives are reportedly demanding a high salary. If Lyon is unable to sign Simon in January, the club could wait until the end of the season to sign him on a free transfer.

Simon’s impact on Nantes

Simon has been a key player for Nantes this season, scoring three goals and providing five assists in 15 Ligue 1 appearances. He is a versatile player who can play on either wing or as a striker. He is known for his pace, dribbling skills, and creativity.

Simon’s pace and dribbling skills have been particularly effective for Nantes this season. He has been able to beat defenders with ease and create scoring opportunities for his teammates. His creativity has also been evident, as he has shown the ability to create chances out of nothing.

Simon’s absence from Nantes in January will be a blow to the club. He is their leading scorer and assist provider, and his creativity will be missed.

Lyon’s need for a winger

Lyon is looking to add a winger to its squad in the January transfer window. The club’s current wingers, Moussa Dembele and Karl Toko-Ekambi, have not been consistent this season.

Dembele has been injured for much of the season, and Toko-Ekambi has been inconsistent in front of goal. Simon would provide Lyon with a much-needed boost on the wing.
