Nantes winger Nantes Winger Moses Simon was nominated for France’s prestigious Africa Player of the Year Award, an honor in honor of the late Marc-Vivien Foé, a famous former Cameroon International.
This season, Moses Simon showed extraordinary skills and consistency in the field, which has made a significant contribution to Nantes’ performance.
The 29-year-old Nigerian winger has scored seven goals and provided eight assists, showing off his versatility and gaming abilities under the guidance of head coach Antoine Kombouaré.
After the nomination, Moses Simon hopes to follow in the footsteps of his fellow countrymen Vincent Enyeama and Victor Osimhen, who have won awards over the past few years.
Legendary goalkeeper Enyeama was the first Nigerian to receive this honor in the 2013-2014 season, and Osimhen won the honor when he ran for Lille in the 2019-2020 season, further cementing Nigeria’s presence in the field of African football excellence.
