Paris FC have pulled off a major transfer coup by signing Nigeria international Moses Simon from Ligue 1 rivals FC Nantes for a reported fee of €7 million.
The 29-year-old winger agreed a three-year deal with the newly promoted club, signaling a fresh chapter in his impressive French adventure.
Simon spent six seasons at Nantes, where he consistently shone as one of Ligue 1’s most creative and dependable wide men.
Despite speculation linking him with moves abroad, the Super Eagles winger chose to remain in France. He has decided to help bolster Stéphane Gilli’s side following their historic return to the top flight after a 46-year absence.

Over his Nantes career, Simon played 151 league matches, scoring 28 goals and providing countless moments of brilliance. However, it was last season under Antoine Kombouaré that he truly dazzled. He registered eight goals and 10 assists in just 32 league appearances, marking his most productive campaign yet.
A new chapter begins in Paris
Paris FC will hope Simon’s experience and explosiveness can help them avoid the drop in their return to Ligue 1. The club has already begun strengthening ahead of the new season, and Simon’s arrival is a big statement of ambition. His ability to beat defenders, deliver precise crosses, and score crucial goals makes him an asset on any stage.
While his departure will be a blow to Nantes, Simon leaves with the respect of fans and teammates alike. His impact on the Canaries’ fortunes, especially during difficult spells, cannot be overstated.
Paris FC fans, on the other hand, have every reason to be excited. With Simon now in their ranks, they gain not just a proven performer, but a player capable of producing magic when it matters most.
