Valued at £10million, Simon who contributed six goals and three assists for Belgian side can play on either wing. He was also approached by premier league clubs, Brighton and Newcastle.

With Liverpool’s latest interest, it remains to be seen if Simon who has a year left on his contract would be keen on joining the Anfield side.

It will be recalled that Simon would have made the final World Cup list for Nigeria if not for a hip injury that put him an end to his dreams  at the last minute.

“I will definitely be back soon, stronger and better,” said Simon.

“To the Super Eagles, I wish you all the best of luck in Russia – go and make us proud,” said the player.
