Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leeds United are reportedly weighing up a January transfer move for OGC Nice striker Terem Moffi, as the Nigeria international considers his future following a disturbing incident involving club supporters.
Reports say the Premier League duo are monitoring developments around the 26-year-old forward ahead of the winter transfer window. French outlet MediaFoot reports that both clubs could approach Nice in the coming weeks as Moffi seeks an exit from the Ligue 1 side.
Moffi is understood to be unsettled after he and teammate Jérémie Boga were assaulted by Nice ultras following the club’s 3–1 home defeat to Lorient in late November. The incident has raised serious safety concerns and reportedly strained relations between the players and sections of the fan base.
The Super Eagles striker joined Nice initially on loan from Lorient in January 2023, after establishing himself as one of Ligue 1’s most consistent forwards. His move was made permanent later that summer, with Nice paying around €30 million to secure his services.
Despite the off-field issues, Moffi remains a valuable asset on the pitch and continues to attract interest across Europe. Wolves are believed to view him as a physically dominant, proven goalscorer who could add depth and competition to their attacking options, while Leeds see him as a potential marquee signing to strengthen their push for top-flight stability or promotion ambitions.
More European clubs are also expected to join the race as the transfer window approaches, with Moffi’s experience in France and international pedigree enhancing his market value.
Since arriving in Ligue 1, Moffi has scored 54 goals in 148 appearances for Lorient and Nice, underlining his reputation as one of the league’s most reliable forwards and making him an attractive prospect for clubs seeking immediate attacking impact.
