Both clubs agreed to a purchase option which became mandatory if the 2019 AFCON bronze-medalist played 25 official games and scored 10 goals. However, the premature end of the season could not see Simon score up to 10 goals but he was involved in 17 goals, scoring nine times and assisting eight goals. Simon who was recently named Nantes Player of the Season after earning 40% percent of votes cast signed a four-year contract that will be effective from July 1st, 2020, keeping him with the Canaries until June 30th, 2024.
