Agent reveals Brighton-linked striker Simy prefers move to English Premier League
Published: May 30, 2021Vincenzo Morabito, the agent handling the affairs of Crotone marksman Simeon Tochukwu Nwankwo, has revealed that the striker would prefer a move to the English Premier League, adding that the most concrete interest has come from top-flight clubs in England without revealing their identities.
That said, Brighton & Hove are reportedly among the teams linked with a move for the Nigeria international in the summer transfer window.
Simy will only consider joining the top clubs in the Italian Serie A, meaning speculation linking him with a move to Serie B side Monza are out of topic.
The 29-year-old was involved in every single game played by Crotone in the Serie A in the recently concluded season, scoring 20 goals.
In quotes relayed by Udineseblog, Morabito said : "Simy has a very interesting market in England, there are at least a couple of interested clubs in the Premier League.
"His preference is for foreign countries, eventually we will consider offers from the upper-middle-range Serie A club.
"We are therefore working mainly on the English market, where the clubs are economically more solid and can offer important figures both to Crotone and to the player. He deserves a championship like that....."
He added : "Let's see what happens in the next few weeks. At the moment, I repeat, the most concrete track is the one that leads to the Premier League".
Simy has one year remaining on his contract with Crotone, whom he joined from Portimonense in 2016.
The former Gil Vicente star is due to report for international duty this week ahead of Nigeria's friendly against Cameroon in Austria on June 4.
