FC Nantes of France winger, Moses Simon has described his new born daughter as the arrival of another princes in his castle, and thanked his wife, Ibukun, for making him a father for the second time, megasportsarena.com reports.
Following the arrival of his second child on Friday, the 24-year-old Simon, who got married in 2015 and welcomed his first child on August 3, 2018, believes the new baby is already opening doors of better opportunities for him, as summer transfer talks are already rolling round him.
The birth of his baby coincides with news that Nantes pan on buying his contract outright from his parent club, Levante of Spain, with a deal worth five million euros already on the cards, but he could then move to China in a full transfer worth double that amount.
This provides a lift in profile and mood for Simon, who scored five goals and provided as many assists during the French Ligue 1 season that was cancelled last week, with his performance said to have attracted summer links from two of his club’s rivals, Olympique Lyon and Stade Rennes, while Newcastle United of England are also said to be lurking somewhere in the shadows.
Reports out of France indicate that Nantes are close to reaching an agreement to buy him from Levante, after which they will sell him for a huge profit to Rennes or, preferably, Lyon, who will play in the UEFA Champions League, even as a Chinese Super League outfit made the first move to snatch the former SK Trencin of Slovakia and KAA Gent of Belgium crafty player.
Even as wheeling and dealing goes on in the background for Simon, who has nine goals and eight assists in 30 appearances across all competitions for Nantes this season, he is now keeping all his attention on the new arrival in his family, as he took to social media to cherish his bundle of joy.
Simon stated: “Glory be to God🙏!!On 30:4:20 God added another princess to my castle 🕺and a special thanks to my👸 @princess_mide27 Words will never be enough to express just how thankful I am that you are my wife i will keep loving and cherish you forever❤👸”
