Super Eagles  star Moses Simon was watched by  West Brom scout during the friendly game against Senegal last Thursday in London.

Simon played for an hour in the Super Eagles 1-1 draw with Senegal  at the Hive (home of  Barnet FC).

The 21-year-old was watched by West Brom Sporting and Technical Director  Nicky Hammond, who was there to get a look at Moses who plays for Gent in Belgium.

According to  Birmingham Mail,  this is not the first time West Brom are watching Simon who they have been tracking for almost a year.

The  Premier League  club watched the forward during Gent’s  Europa League  Round of 32 clash against  Tottenham.

Simon has been impressive for Gent so far this season and has been heavily linked with a move to England at the end of the season.

Simon kicked off his career at the famed  GBS Academy  in Jos before signing a pre-contract agreement with Dutch giants,  Ajax.

Despite the contract with Ajax, Simon joined Ajax partner club in Slovakia,  AS Trencin.

In January 2015, Simon joined  Gent, signing a 3-year contract.
