Simon joined Nantes on loan from Levante last season, but Les Canaries have the permanent buy option, which they have taken.
The former Gent star was named the club’s player of the season after scoring nine goals and providing eight assists in 33 games for the club.
His future had remained unclear for some time with other clubs reportedly interested in his services. Soccernet had reported earlier that the Nigeria international is interested in a move to the English Premier League.
However, it appears that’ll have to wait after Nantes confirmed they’ve signed him permanently from Levante on a four-year deal.
And according to GFFN, the Ligue 1 side will pay Levante a fee in the region of €4m to €5m.
