OGC Nice executives and Sporting Director Florian Maurice, are considering exploring the market for a new striker after Terem Moffi ‘s long-term injury was announced.
The 25-year old ruptured his ACL during a preseason training camp in Austria, as confirmed by the Ligue 1 club in a medical statement released on Tuesday.
The injury will keep the former Lorient forward sidelined for most of the upcoming Ligue 1 season, dealing a serious blow to Franck Haise’s squad.
Since joining OGC Nice from Lorient 18 months ago, Terem Moffi has been a key player, scoring 20 goals and providing five assists in 52 appearances for the INEOS-owned French club.
His absence has prompted the club’s management to urgently seek a replacement to fill the gap left by his prolonged recovery period.
