Moses Simon Sparks Nantes Survival Fight – Ligue 1’s Top Creator Delivers in Crucial Win

Super Eagles winger Moses Simon delivered a brilliant all-round display to guide Nantes to a crucial 2-1 win over Nice at the Allianz Riviera on Friday night.

Simon set the tone early, providing the assist for Douglas Augusto’s opener in the 11th minute, helping Nantes secure three vital points in their fight to avoid relegation.

Simon’s Influence Grows

Simon wasn’t just influential in attack—he also worked hard defensively and made key clearances. His assist marked his 9th of the Ligue 1 season, the highest in the league, while also scoring 7 goals.

He’s now directly contributed to 16 of Nantes’ 33 goals this season—48.5% of their total tally. This is shaping up to be his best season in Europe, as he surpasses previous personal records.

Nantes Fighting for Survival

With six matches remaining and tough clashes ahead against PSG, Rennes, and Toulouse, Simon’s form could prove decisive. Nantes sit 13th, just six points above the relegation zone, but face pressure from clubs with games in hand.

What Next for Moses Simon?

Having spent five years at the club and won a French Cup, the 29-year-old’s contract expires next year. With transfer speculation swirling, Nantes may be tempted to cash in this summer given their financial situation—especially if a solid offer lands.
