“ Liverpool is a very big team with a large squad, the type of team where you have to work extra hard to get games. Most players like such challenges and I am not different. Why will I turn down Liverpool? I didn’t grant any of such interviews “. Moses who is a Newcastle United target will miss Gent’s play-off games against Sporting Charleroi today.

Simon has been ever present for Gent since the start of the Championship play-offs in Belgium, but the forward who is heavily linked with a move to English Premier League side Newcastle United has confirmed his unavailability for the  game.

Simon said he is battling flu and as a matter of fact didn’t sleep all through Friday night, hence his decision to pull out of the Charleroi clash on health grounds.

“ I couldn’t sleep all night long due to a bout of flu , so I won’t be playing in Sunday’s game against Charleroi. I will no doubt be the number one supporter of my teammates during the game”, Simon said.We competed, we dominated the first half and 1-1 was completely unfair. They scored in the second half and then against these type of clubs it’s always 50-50. The match went to them.
