Teremas "Terem" Igobor Moffi (born 25 May 1999) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Ligue 1 club Nice and the Nigeria national team.[2]
Club career
Moffi left Nigeria and moved to England to join the Buckswood Football Academy at Hastings, East Sussex at the age of 17,[3] and thereafter moved to Lithuania with Kauno Žalgiris. He eventually joined Riteriai, but had visa issues that delayed his debut. Moffi eventually scored 20 goals in 29 leagues games for Riteriai, and transferred to Belgian club Kortrijk in January 2020.[4]
On 1 October 2020, Moffi joined Ligue 1 side Lorient on a permanent deal.[5]
On 31 January 2023, he signed for Nice on loan until the end of the season, with an obligation-to-buy for €30 million and a 15% sell-on clause in favor of Lorient.[6][7][8]
International career
On 14 May 2021, Nigeria head coach Gernot Rohr included Moffi in his 31-man list for friendlies in June. Moffi debuted with the Super Eagles in a 1–0 loss to Cameroon on 4 June 2021.[9]
Personal life
Moffi's father, Leo, was a professional footballer in Nigeria and played as a goalkeeper.[10]
