the race for the signature of Nigerian player, Moses Simon. It was hardly a guarded secret that Newcastle United Football Club wanted to add more goals, more creativity and, crucially, another left winger to its arrays of players. And owner Mike Ashley’s desire to prioritise potential profit via bringing in young, improving talents is well established. The name of the Nigerian player is still ringing a bell in England and the next transfer deal could bring Simon out to contest for honours in the EPL.
Sunderland Football Club, which parades another Nigerian attacker, Victor Anichebe, is strongly considering a move for Simon. The trail has grown a little cold since, however, as Simon struggled to live up to the early expectations. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing; on the flipside, there is a chance reported suitors could snatch him on a much cheaper deal.
According to the Birmingham Mail, Sunderland are among the clubs sending scouts to watch Gent in action just to see the Nigerian. The Black Cats’ dismal season has not been helped by an over-reliance on Jermain Defoe and a hair-yanking lack of creativity, but Moses, a player equally comfortable on the wing or through the middle, would add much needed pace and incision up front.
