Having stayed just over two years in Lorient, Moffi scored 34 goals in 87 games with Les Merlus. He is the second top scorer in Ligue 1 this season, behind Kylian Mbappé, with 12 goals.
“Compared to the ideas that we want to put in place and the identity of the game that we want to establish, he is the ideal striker, rejoices Nice sports director Florent Ghisolfi. Terem is able to play with his back to goal, to go deep. He is a modern attacker, very fast, very powerful. He has experience, fights for the team, he is able to multiply races while maintaining his lucidity in the zone of truth. In L1, it is already a reference. »
