Super Eagles winger Moses Simon has admitted he’s content with life at FC Nantes but won’t turn down a chance to join the English Premier League if the right offer comes.
Simon was instrumental for Nantes in the 2024/25 campaign, notching eight goals and ten assists in 32 matches. Despite growing transfer speculation, he remains calm about his future and committed to the Ligue 1 side for now.
Speaking to SportsBoom, as quoted by the Liverpool Echo, Simon said “Yes, I’ve heard about the interest, and I know my agent is in contact with some clubs. Right now, I’m still a Nantes player. I’ve always given my best for this club, and I respect my contract.”
He continued “Of course, every player wants to play at the highest level. The Premier League is one of the best in the world. If the right offer comes, and it’s good for me and my family, then why not? But I’m not desperate. I have peace here in France. It has to be the right project.”

Simon, known for his explosive pace and creativity on the wing, has emerged as one of Nantes’ standout performers in recent seasons. With interest reportedly growing from several English clubs, the summer transfer window could be decisive for the 28 year old Nigerian international.
Editorial
Moses Simon’s measured response to Premier League interest reveals a player who understands both the value of loyalty and the appeal of ambition. In a footballing world often driven by frenzy, Simon is a refreshing figure focused on performance over speculation.
He’s not shopping for a move he’s open to one and there’s a critical difference. We respect his honesty he loves his current club, but he’s also aware that time, age, and opportunity must align in a professional career. If a top English side comes calling with the right plan, why shouldn’t he listen?
But he isn’t jumping at the first offer. He wants a “project” not just a contract. And that’s exactly what a seasoned professional should demand. Simon understands that playing in the Premier League is not just about status it’s about sustainability, fit, and growth.
We believe this attitude makes him even more attractive to clubs. They’re not just getting a winger with goals and assists they’re getting a mature, grounded leader who’s ready to compete at a higher level without bringing drama to the dressing room.
Whether he stays in Nantes or moves to England, Simon’s next step will be watched closely. And it’s clear he’s prepared to make it on his own terms.
