Newcastle, Brighton And Liverpool In Three-Way Battle For £13million Moses Simon
Newcastle United will face stiff competition in the battle to sign
Nigerian international Moses Simon from KAA Gent.
Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez has identified Simon as one of his
major targets for the 2018/19 season, but two other Premier League
clubs are also keen on the 22-year-old forward.
The Sun reports that Liverpool and Brighton & Hove Albion are also
keeping close tabs on the World Cup-bound Nigerian.
Gent value Simon at £13million and are braced for bids in the
offseason, with the player keen on moving into one of Europe’s elite
leagues.
Simon has scored five goals in 21 Belgian top flight appearances this
season and was particularly impressive in a 2-0 win over Anderlecht
this past weekend.
