Moses Simon included in Ligue 1 team of the week

Super Eagles winger Moses Simon has been recognized for his outstanding performance in Nantes’ 3-1 victory over Lens on Sunday, earning him a spot in the WhoScored Ligue 1 Team of the Week for Gameweek 23.

Moses Simon played a crucial role in Nantes’ win, scoring a penalty to double his team’s lead after Louis Leroux opened the scoring. Despite Neil El Aynaoui’s strike, Lens were unable to mount a comeback as Meschack Elia sealed the win for the Canaris in the final minutes.

Moses Simon’s impressive display went beyond his goal, as he demonstrated exceptional skill and work rate. He completed an impressive 90% of his passes, successfully executed 56% of his dribbles, and delivered accurate crosses and long balls.

The Nigerian winger also showcased his defensive prowess, making one clearance, four recoveries, and winning 60% of his ground duels, an inspirational performance that earned him a well-deserved spot in the Team of the Week.

The rest of the team features a talented lineup, including goalkeeper Matthew Ryan (Lens), and defenders Aron Dønnum (Toulouse), Jubal (Auxerre), Clement Akpa (Auxerre), and Nicolas Pallois (Nantes). The midfield consists of Zakaria Aboukhlal (Toulouse), Hicham Boudaoui (Nice), and Pierre Ekwah (Saint-Etienne), while the attack features Irvin Cardona (Saint-Etienne) and Gaëtan Laborde (Nice), alongside Moses Simon.

Moses Simon’s inclusion in the team of the week is a testament to his outstanding season. With six goals, he is Nantes’ second-highest goal scorer, and his seven assists is the highest tally in the league, tied with top talents including Rayan Cherki, Evann Guessand and Joao Neves.

As the summer transfer window approaches, Nantes may face a challenge in retaining Moses Simon’s services as his impressive performances have caught the attention of several European clubs, and it is likely that the experienced winger will be sought after by other teams looking to strengthen their squads.
