Lorient striker, Terem Moffi was left out of the weekend game Rennes due to transfer distractions. nigeriasoccernet.com gathers.
Although Lorient through two early goals won the league tie by 2-1 but the head coach Regis Le Bris according to HITC via Score Nigeria admires Moffi has been distracted.
Recall Nigeriasoccernet reported that West Ham had a £20 million bid rejected by Lorient earlier this month. However the French team want about £30 million.
Despite the Hammers being the closest after several communications, Moffi is reluctant to move to England, preferring OGC Nice to the London based club.
Moffi seems to have his heart set on a move to an ambitious Nice side bankrolled by British billionaire and potential new Manchester United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Things could get more interesting in the in the next two days with the winter transfer window.
Time in all of this is not in the side of Lorient as Moffi has just a year left on his contract.
