The 23-year-old attacker, who missed out on a place in Nigeria’s Russia 2018 World Cup squad due to an injury, signed a five-year deal with Levante, where veteran striker Obafemi Martins scored seven goals in 21 appearances from 2012 to 2013.
Nigeria winger Moses Simon on Monday joined Spanish side Levante from Belgian outfit Gent.
His move to Levante came after his Gent teammate and compatriot Samuel Kalu moved to French Ligue 1 club Bordeaux earlier on Monday.
“Welcome to #LevanteUD, @Simon27Moses,” Levante tweeted.

The 23-year-old attacker, who missed out on a place in Nigeria’s Russia 2018 World Cup squad due to an injury, signed a five-year deal with Levante, where veteran striker Obafemi Martins scored seven goals in 21 appearances from 2012 to 2013.
Simon, who scored 21 goals and provided 18 assists in 136 appearances for Gent, joined the Belgian outfit in 2015 from Slovak top-flight club AS Trencin where he scored 13 goals in 33 games.
Bordeaux revealed on their official Twitter handle Kalu had signed a five-year deal with them.
The 20-year-old scored seven goals in 32 games in the Jupiler League last season.
Kalu could face his former teammates in the Europa League playoff round later this month, as Bordeaux and Gent will meet each other in the next round if they see off their Third Qualifying Round opponents.
