Super Eagles forward, Moses Simon has been recognised as one of the hottest dribblers in European football.
Moses Simon was a key member of the Super Eagles team that finished second behind Ivory Coast at AFCON 2023.
He was instrumental in the forward play, beating his markers and creating chances for his teammates.
In the quarterfinal match against Angola, Moses Simon expertly beat his marker before squaring a pass for compatriot Ademola Lookman to finish with aplomb.
Moses Simon makes Europe’s top dribblers list
Sports analytics company Opta revealed that FC Nantes forward Moses Simon is the fourth-best dribbler in Europe. Moses Simon achieved this with a 55.1% dribble completion rate.
Only Yamine Lamal (59.7%), Jeremy Doku (58.6%), and Leroy Sane (55.5%) have a better dribble completion rate than the 28-year-old Nigerian attacker.
Bayern Munich’s wonderkid Jamal Musiala is tied on fourth (55.1%) with Nigeria’s Moses Simon.
The statistics show that the Nigerian is better when facing players on a one-on-one occasion than leading Ligue 1 goalscorer Kylian Mbappe. Kylian Mbappe though has informed PSG of his intention to move in the summer.
