Nigeria’s Super Eagles striker, Simon Moses has been voted as the best player in Nantes for August as he amassed 57.7% of the votes to beat Alban Lafont, Nicolas Pallois, and Ludovic Blas.
A statement via the club’s website read: “With 57.65% of the votes, Moses Simon is, therefore, your Canary of the Month for the month of August.”
Moses was in scintillating form for the Yellow Canaries in August and was their major outlet upfront. The former Levante man supplied the three assists for all of Nantes’ goals in their first two games of the Ligue 1 season.
His contributions were vital as they helped the Yellow Canaries to pick a draw at Monaco and see off Metz with 2-0.
However, the 26-year-old failed to perform in the next two games against Rennes and Lyon, with Nantes falling to a 1-0 defeat in both games.
Simon, who is said to be happy for winning the award is currently in camp with Nigeria. He will hope to draw inspiration from his achievement at Nantes and produce an outstanding performance as Nigeria take on Cape Verde in the second game of the World Cup qualifiers.
