Super Eagles star Moses Simon has made waves across Europe with his incredible dribbling skills, surpassing Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr. to secure a spot as one of the top dribblers in the continent’s top leagues.
The Nigerian forward’s outstanding performances for Nantes have caught the attention of football fans worldwide.
This season, Simon has been in impressive form, contributing four goals and five assists in 16 appearances across all competitions. His explosive pace, agility, and ability to take on defenders have made him a key asset for Nantes since joining in 2019.
These skills have helped him become one of the best dribblers in Europe, ranking fourth in the top seven leagues (England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Netherlands, and Portugal).
