World Exclusive : Tottenham Hotspur Chief Scout Paul Mitchell Watched Moses Simon In Action Against Cameroon

Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that Tottenham Hotspur’s chief scout and head of recruitment Paul Mitchell was among the spectators on Sunday night, as the Super Eagles thrashed Cameroon 3 - 0 in a high - profile international friendly.

Mitchell’s mission at the Edmond Machtens Stadion in Brussels was to observe at close quarters one of his targets in the January transfer window, Gent winger Moses Simon.

The chief scout was impressed with the performance of Moses Simon, who netted his second international goal against Cameroon, and at this point it is safe to say the Londoners are ahead of other clubs in the race for the signature of the Nigeria international.

Celtic plus Liverpool have registered their interest in the striker but the Scottish Premier League champions are lagging behind as they have been quoted a transfer fee which they are unlikely to meet.

A Bundesliga side, thought to be Borussia Dortmund, are understood to be monitoring the progress of the 20 - year - old winger in Belgium.

Moses Simon is tied to Gent until the summer of 2018.
