Premier League side Everton are reportedly preparing a move for Nigeria international Moses Simon, who has been in fine form for Ligue 1 club Nantes this season. According to reports from Africa Foot, the Toffees have scouted the 29 year old in recent weeks and view him as a priority target for the upcoming transfer window.
Simon has contributed seven goals and nine assists in 27 appearances this campaign, reinforcing his status as one of Nantes’ most influential players. The former Levante wingerโs performances have reignited long-standing interest from Premier League clubs.
Despite signing a contract extension last year that keeps him at Nantes until June 2026, the Canaries are expected to demand around โฌ15 million for his services. Simon recently featured in Nantesโ 1โ1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain, continuing to showcase his pace and creativity on the wing.
Everton, seeking to bolster their attacking options, view Simon as a potential key addition to their squad next season.
Editorial
Moses Simonโs name has circled around Premier League rumour mills for years, and it seems that Everton might finally be the club to pull the trigger. If this move materialises, it could represent a well-earned step up for a player who has been consistently excellent in Ligue 1 without always getting the recognition he deserves.

For Everton, a club in need of creativity and dynamism on the flanks, Simon could be a transformative signing. He combines speed with technical sharpness and work rate qualities that would serve them well in a league where margins are razor-thin. His versatility also adds to his appeal whether on the left, right, or even in a more central role, Simon brings tactical flexibility.
From a Nigerian football perspective, a Premier League move at this stage of his career would spotlight Simonโs journey one defined by patience, consistency, and growth. Often overshadowed by flashier names, he has quietly carved out a reputation as one of the most dependable wingers in Europe. At 29, this may be the final opportunity for him to make a splash in England, and he certainly deserves the chance.
A move to Everton wonโt just elevate his career it could inspire a new wave of players back home to trust in gradual progress rather than instant fame.
