Moses Simon, a winger for Nantes, is a nominee for the French Best African Player of the Year honor.
Marc-Vivien Foé, a former Cameroon international, gets honored with the coveted prize.
For Nantes this season, Simon has been outstanding.
For Antoine Kombouaré’s team, the Nigerian international has seven goals and eight assists.
The 29-year-old hopes to follow in the footsteps of his countrymen Victor Osimhen and Vincent Enyeama, who have already taken home the honor.
In the 2013–14 season, Enyeama became the first Nigerian to win the honor.
In the 2019–20 season, Osimhen won it while playing for Lille.
