Paris has welcomed its first Nigerian male footballer, and it’s no ordinary signing. Moses Simon, the relentless Super Eagles winger known for his pace and power, has officially joined Paris FC, sealing a €7 million transfer after six eventful years at FC Nantes.
- Simon becomes the first Nigerian male player to sign for Paris FC.
- Joins from Nantes, where he scored 37 goals and 42 assists in 201 appearances.
- Delivered his career-best season in 2024/25: 8 goals, 10 assists in 32 Ligue 1 games.
- Signs a 3-year deal worth €75,000 per week, nearly doubling his previous salary.
- Follows in the footsteps of Super Falcons’ Chiamaka Nnadozie, who spent five years at Paris FC Women
Simon’s move isn’t just about geography; it’s about legacy. From his emotional farewell to Nantes (“a piece of this club in my heart”), to leading a new chapter in Ligue 1, Simon is embracing the challenge with grace. Paris FC, newly promoted, didn’t just buy speed; they signed experience, versatility, and national pride.
This is more than a transfer. It’s a signal: Paris FC wants to soar. And Moses, with 81 caps and 10 goals for Nigeria, knows how to fly.
