Nigeria's Moses Simon Daddy is reportedly on the radar of Lille and Nice.

Moses Simon survived relegation with Nantes, and he has already been linked with a move away from the club, with Lille and Nice said to be interested. 

The 27-year-old winger is currently in the Super Eagles camp ahead of the AFCON qualifier against Sierra Leone, but he is the subject of transfer speculation back in France.

Simon linked away from Nantes 

According to French publication L'Equipe, the former Levante forward is of interest to top Ligue 1 sides Lille and OGC Nice. 

Both clubs are said to have already registered interest in the Super Eagles star and are ready to begin negotiations for him. 

Simon's current deal with Les Canaris is set to expire at the end of next season, but the report suggests he would still command a fee of around €4-5 million. 

The former Gent man had nine goal contributions as Nantes survived another Ligue 1 season, scoring five goals and providing four assists. 

Meanwhile, Nigerian football legend Jay Jay Okocha has listed his nephew Alex Iwobi, Moses Simon, and two other stars as the most exciting players for the Super Eagles.

Okocha revealed this during his exclusive interview with Pulse Sports Nigeria in Lagos.

The former Super Eagles captain, who was so good they named him twice, ran the rule on the current players, among other related issues, during the chat.
