Super Eagles forward Moses Simon has been ranked as the fourth-best dribbler in Europe’s top seven leagues.
Simon has enjoyed a decent campaign with Nantes this season. The Super Eagles star has made 16 appearances across all competitions, with four goals and five assists to his name. This means that Simon has been involved in almost half of their goals in the French Ligue 1.
The Super Eagles star’s explosive pace, strength, and skill with the ball have been a major asset for Nantes since he joined in 2019. His brilliance has been a key decider for the Yellow Canaries, the most recent of which was a beautiful goal against Rennes in early December.
Simon’s ability to weave past opponents is a key attribute of his game. According to a recent report, the Nigerian is one of the best dribblers in Europe. Simon has registered 133 dribbles, making him the fourth-best dribbler in Europe’s top seven leagues (England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Netherlands, and Portugal). He is ahead of Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr., who has completed 130 dribbles.
