Super Eagles and Paris FC winger, Moses Simon, has been named in the Ligue 1 Team of the Week after an outstanding performance in his club’s recent league encounter.
The recognition comes following his decisive contribution to Paris FC’s 1-0 away victory against AS Monaco on Saturday, highlighting his growing influence in French football.
Simon was the hero for the visitors as he scored the only goal of the match in the 53rd minute.
His strike proved crucial in securing all three points for Paris FC in a tightly contested game at Stade Louis II.
The 30-year-old Nigerian played the full 90 minutes, demonstrating his stamina and consistency throughout the match.
This season, Simon has been in solid form, scoring three goals and providing one assist in 11 Ligue 1 appearances for coach Stéphane Gilli’s side.
His performances have been key in helping Paris FC stay competitive in the league, and his ability to create chances and take on defenders has made him one of the standout performers in the team.
Simon joined Paris FC this summer from another French top-flight club, Nantes, bringing experience and versatility to the squad.
His speed, skill, and tactical awareness have quickly made him a fan favorite, and he has adapted seamlessly to Stéphane Gilli’s style of play.
With his impressive form, Simon is expected to be included in Nigeria’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup playoffs.
Paris FC will look to build on their momentum when they host Stade Rennes in their next league fixture on Friday, with Simon likely to play a central role once again.
