Nigerian forward Terem Moffi has expressed happiness over his move to Nice from Lorient after snubbing some Premier League teams who were interested in his signature.

Moffi has scored 12 goals this season in the French Ligue 1 which made him a target for many clubs in the Premier League and even Germany.

But the Nigerian felt he has unfinished business in France and chose to move to another side instead of moving to England.

Statement made by Moffi

''Excited to sign with the OG Nice family. Can’t wait to see you the fans and play in front of you guys. New chapter, same book. Ready to work.''

How it started for Moffi

Moffi left Nigeria and moved to England to join the Buckswood Football Academy at Hastings, East Sussex at the age of 17 and thereafter moved to Lithuania with Kauno Žalgiris.

He eventually joined Riteriai, but had visa issues that delayed his debut. Moffi eventually scored 20 goals in 29 leagues games for Riteriai, and transferred to Belgian club Kortrijk in January 2020.

Onyeka reveals who is smarter

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Super Eagles and Brentford midfielder, Frank Onyeka boldly stated that girls of this age are smarter than guys.

The 25-year-old Premier League man made this claim when he met Nigerian sports reporter, Ayo Ibidapo, who approached the footballer to ask him some questions.

Interestingly, Ibidapo works with the Nigerian Football Federation's media department and has a close relationship with many Super Eagles players.

The former Brila FM reporter was seen sharing a joyous moment with the Premier League star.
