Newcastle United are reportedly ready to hand Nigerian forward, Moses Simon, a £100,000-a-week contract to join them in the summer.

According to OwnGoalNigeria, the Premier League side have made Simon, who currently plays for Nantes in Ligue 1, their top priority ahead of next season.

The Super Eagles star will cost the Magpies around £20million in transfer fees and the club are very eager to bring in Simon.

The 26-year-old, who was one of the top-performing players at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon, has scored twice and provided six assists in the French topflight this season.
