Terem Moffi vows to bring fire ahead of possible Porto debut vs Sporting CP

Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi has promised Porto fans that he will repay their faith in him following his move from French Ligue 1 side OGC Nice, Soccernet.ng reports.

​Earlier this week, the Portuguese giants confirmed the signing of Moffi on a half-season loan deal, which includes an option-to-buy clause.

The Super Eagles star’s switch to Portugal follows a difficult period at his parent club, where a dip in relations necessitated a fresh start.

​The 26-year-old has already begun training with his new teammates and is eager to hit the ground running, despite having been out of competitive action since the turn of the year.

​Porto’s next fixture is a high-stakes Liga Portugal clash against Sporting CP at the Estádio do Dragão.

The match promises to be a thriller, featuring two of the biggest and most successful clubs in Portuguese football.

According to Portal S Dragões, Moffi could make his debut in the encounter. While he is unlikely to start due to a lack of match fitness, the Nigerian international is expected to earn minutes off the bench.

​For a player like Terem Moffi, who endured a hostile environment at his previous club, finding a supportive atmosphere is essential. The early signs suggest he has found exactly that at Porto.

​However, to maintain the status quo, the striker must deliver consistent performances on the pitch — a challenge he has openly embraced. On Thursday, Moffi took to social media to express his hunger for success with the Dragons.

​”A new chapter; happy to be here,” Moffi wrote. “Grateful for the trust placed in me by this great club and especially by the fans. I can’t wait to repay that trust. See you soon.”

​If Moffi impresses during his loan spell, Porto will likely trigger the €8 million permanent transfer option.

For now, the striker’s primary focus remains rediscovering his best form before the campaign draws to a close.
