One of the vice captains of the senior national team of Nigeria Moses Simon has been ranked as the second fastest player in the French top division this season after four round of games, OwnGoalNigeria.comreports.
Simon is into his fifth season with Ligue 1 side Nantes including the one season he spent on loan from Levante. So far he has one assist to his name aside winning a penalty, which was converted.
In a report on the fastest players in the league this season by 90min.com , the 28 year old was ranked only behind Jonathan Claus of Marseille. Placing him above PSG and France national team star Kylian Mbappe in the games played in the league so far.
He has also been rated as the most productive Super Eagles winger under new coach Jose Peseiro according to former Super Eagles defender Efe Ambrose, while analyzing the team under the Portuguese.
” Simon to me is the best under the new coach among the wingers. He had two assists against Sierra Leone to help them come from behind and win 2-1. A goal from the spot against Guinea Bissau in a delicate away tie. I am not sure people realized how much that game meant after the loss at home but he took it without any pressure”, the AFCON 2013 winner said.
” Despite playing less than an hour away to Sao Tome and Principe he had a goal and assist in that 10-0 win. Look at the entire Super Eagles team , no any winger has his numbers. Samuel Chukwueze has a goal and assist in four years, Lookman two goals and one assists. Both of them got that in the São Tomé game. It’s so straight forward for me to even say he is the most creative player in the team at the moment looking at the AFCON qualifiers numbers”, he rounded up saying.
