Terem Moffi now wishes to quit OGC Nice after he was attacked by the fans of the French Ligue 1 club.

French newspaper, Nice Matin, reported Moffi's threat to quit the club yesterday.

The striker was along with teammate Jeremie Boga attacked by over 400 Ultra fans on their return to base after they lost 3-1 at his former club Lorient.

The pair were both punched, spat at, kicked and insulted by the Ultras according to people who were at the scene on the Boulevard Jean-Luciano where the team bus had brought players and staff back from the airport after returning from Lorient.

Both players later went to local police on Monday to press charges against the alleged assailants.

The Nigerian international has 19 caps and 4 goals for his country.

According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €15million.
