Nigerian winger Moses Simon has been named in the Ligue 1 Team of the Week following a stellar performance for Paris FC over the weekend.

Simon scored the decisive goal in a 1-0 away victory over AS Monaco, helping the capital club secure all three points.

The Super Eagles vice-captain played the full 90 minutes and was instrumental in Paris FC’s attacking play throughout the game.

This marks the first time Simon has been included in the Ligue 1 Team of the Week this season.

The 30-year-old attacker has so far tallied three goals and one assist in 11 league appearances for Paris FC this campaign.

Simon joined the Parisian side from Nantes during the summer, and his performances are quickly establishing him as a key figure in the team.
