National Team Achievements
Moffi made his debut for the Nigerian national team in the summer of 2021. Due to several top strikers in the team, the player participated in only 12 matches, four of which were official. Nevertheless, Terem Moffi managed to score four goals, helping the national team qualify for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations. Currently, the striker shares the sixth position with AC Milan midfielder Samuel Chukwueze in the list of the most expensive Nigerian players.
Prospects
Chasing the Champions League and personal scoring record In the previous season, Moffi scored twice as many goals by the eighth round. However, he is currently Nice’s top scorer, having not missed a single game and scored three times. The Nigerian forward scored a brace in the match against PSG, making his team the main pursuer of the Parisians. Terem Moffi finished the 2022/23 season with 18 goals. Even repeating this achievement could help Nice qualify for the Champions League, and the player himself could attract the attention of top clubs and increase his salary.
