Super Eagles winger Moses Simon has joined Levante UD for 4.5 million
pounds after he passed a routine medical with the La Liga club on
Monday.
Levante were locked with French Ligue 1 Saint Etienne in the chase for
the KAA Gent winger, who missed the recent World Cup in Russia no
thanks to a thigh injury.
He was also linked with clubs in England and Germany.
Gent have already signed a direct replacement for the fast wide man,
who has made it very clear that he wishes to move on.
He won the Belgian league with Gent in his first season after his
transfer from Slovak club AS Trencin.
Simon moved to Levante UD for about five million Euros, which is a
figure far from the 20 million Euros a top official had predicted KAA
Gent will eventually sell him.
Gent sports director Michel Louwagie proudly predicted that his club
with break transfer records when they eventually sell the Nigeria
winger after they bought him from Slovak club AS Trencin for 650,000
Euros in January 2015.
“The transfer record in Belgium will have to be shattered when we sell
Moses. We will be talking of about 20 million Euros,” Louwagie
predicted.
The prediction was prompted by the fact that Moses was an instant
sensation in Belgium.
But the player will go on to suffer injuries and lack of consistency
for such huge hope not to be fulfilled in the three and a half seasons
he was there.
Altogether, he scored 21 goals and provided 18 assists in 136
appearances for ‘The Buffaloes’.
‘Daddy’ has now been handed a five-year deal by Levante to finally
live up to his potentials in Spain.
