Gent (Belgium) fan-favourite, Moses Simon, has confirmed his arrival date to the camp of the Flying Eagles ahead of the FIFA Under-20 World cup in New Zealand.
The 19-year-old ace who is in line for the Best Player of African Origin award, popularly called the Ebony award, is expected in camp on May 25 after his team last playoff game against Anderlecht.
SL10.ng learnt that Gent spoke with the team handlers of the Flying Eagles directly to ask for Simon to be allowed to play in all of their playoff games as they currently top the standings and losing him might jeopardise their chances of lifting the Belgium league title.
Satisfied with the explanation given to them by the Belgium side, the Garba-led technical crew will include the forward in their 21-man list for the Championship expected to be submitted on the 15th of May as they are satisfied and are abreast with his form and fitness.
However, Simon is expected to leave Belgium in the night after their last game against Anderlecht and should arrive the camp in the morning of 25th of May just like his fellow Belgium-based player, Wilfred Ndidi, did yesterday.
