Published: June 15, 2017
New Nantes manager Claudio Ranieri is in the market for a striker and has targeted Crotone's Simeon Tochukwu Nwanwko.

According to Sportitalia, Nantes have opened a line of communication with Crotone over the signing of the Nigerian.
Born and raised in Onitsha, he spent his formative years as a footballer with Future Hope Academy, Nkpor and G.U.O FC before joining the youth team of Portimonense.
Simy has contractual obligations with the Pythagoreans until the end of the 2018-2019 season.
