It is all but confirmed that Super Eagles winger Moses Simon will become a permanent Nantes player in the coming weeks, barring an injury or severe loss of form.

La Liga side Levante inserted a purchase clause set at five million euros in the deal taking the Nigeria international to Nantes in August 2019.

Our colleagues at Eldesmarque is reporting that the purchase option will be automatically activated in case Simon scores 10 goals across all competitions or plays 25 matches.

With the second half of the season yet to begin, the former Gent star is close to landing a new deal at Nantes, having netted 5 goals - two in the Ligue 1 and three in the Coupe de la Ligue.

Simon has been involved in 16 games in all competitions and should he feature in Nantes next nine matches, December 14 - February 8, then his move will be made permanent.

The 24-year-old struggled in his first season in Spain, making only 8 starts from a possible 38 in La Liga, and found the back of the net only once.

Levante are willing to have Simon back in the fold on the back of his impressive performances at Nantes but the stumbling block is that the winger's future is no longer in their hands due to the purchase clause inserted into the deal that took him to France.

Good one for Simon

One of the most trolled player here along side Collins

He is not a fan favorite but he has done so well this season

FC Luzern striker Blessing Eleke is being linked with a transfer to African powerhouse Al Alhy in the January transfer window, according to reports emanating from the Egyptian media.

Al Ahly are now being managed by former Switzerland international defender René Weiler, who coached Eleke at Luzern during the 2018-2019 season.

The eight-time African champions are in the market for a striker, with Junior Ajayi, Walid Azaro, Marwan Mohsen, and Salah Mohsen failing to convince Weiler this season, accounting for only 7 of the 25 goals scored by Al Ahly.

Allnigeriasoccer.com has been doing some digging and it can be revealed that Al Ahly have yet to make contact with Eleke about joining the club next month.

And even if the Reds eventually firm up their interest with an official bid to Luzern, they are unlikely to get the green light from Eleke as moving to an African club at this stage of his career is not one of his targets.

Previously, the 23-year-old turned out for Gorica, Olimpija Ljubljana and Ashdod before sealing a move to Luzern in July 2018.

He has scored 20 goals in 60 games since moving to Switzerland and has Europa League qualifying games under his belt.

First of all, those at the NFF gotta know about this kid. Just guessing on how much they know, but I believe none of them do at the moment. We gotta alert them.

I recall the kid especially from a preseason game in 2018 where he scored against PSG with Buffon in goal. Very big kid with David Luiz kinda hair. Lol.

Just like Zirkzee, Bayern have another very young striker (19 yo), Jann Fiete Arp. Arp was at the U-17 WC in 2017 (that's where I first saw the lad).

I understand it is injury to this lad that gave Zirkzee this chance to make his UCL debut. From What I hear, Arp is a little more highly rated although both are well rated at Bayern only that Arp is little more reverred.

Chance and time indeed happeneth to us all. wink

Using this statement I can say Iorfa isn't EPL quality that's why wolves decided to send him to the reserve the moment they gained promotion

Before you make deduction make sure that's it's underpinned with facts.

Nuno and Mendes super agent completed control of Wolves in the 2017/18 season.

At the end of the 2016/17 season, Dominic had played near 100 games over three consecutive seasons and a first team regular. Kaurtney Hause also amongst other English players where first team regulars.

Dominic went on loan 2017/18 season to Ipswich where he layer got injured. He then transfered to Sheffield Wednesday in January 2019.

Wolves gained promotion to the EPL in 2018/19 one season later. So your claim is essentially false and not factual.

But that's quite common here false claims and presumption from perception not facts.

ig we are to remove the championship then we exclude the Belgium league too
You said in-form and didn't specify in Europe top 5 leagues
And at the bolded , are they inform and are you counting prospects?

Go back and read my posts. I will not repeat myself Ad infinitum

The topic before we completely digress is comparison of IN-FORM players of Senegal to Nigeria. That's the context and subject.

The benchmark was top 5 European leagues as an indicator of outright quality.

HERE and NOW and lower league outstanding players are not within the remit of this particular discourse.

Unless you want to provoke a different discussion. That's the discourse.

And when we are talking of form we are talking of the here and now in your own words. Salif Sane performance over the last 5 seasons is not what is been discussed now but his performance this season and that is what we mean by FORM.

And finally stop changing the topic of discussion we are talking about Senegalese Players and not French Players of Senegalese origin because if that's the topic been discussed there are also hundreds of Nigerian origin players in the English Leagues

Name how many Nigerian players in the EPL by your own standard

Then compare that to Senegalese players in just the French league one.

Facts are facts not surprisingly he got injured and couldn't play. Hamstring and ankle injury. Is that what you call excuses.

In your condescending words " silly excuses "
