Nigeria winger, Moses Simon is amongst the best dribblers in European football this season

In a recent survey by British Sports analytics company, Opta, the FC Nantes player is the fourth most proficient dribbler ahead of French star, Kylian Mbappe.

Opta Joe in a recent post on X revealed the list of most proficient dribblers in Europe.

The Nigerian winger is the fourth-best dribbler across Europe’s premier five leagues.

Simon only falls behind Yamine Lamal (FC Barcelona), Jeremy Doku (Manchester City), and Leroy Sane (Bayern Munich).

He played a crucial role in ensuring that Nigeria’s senior men’s national team gets to the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d’Ivoire.

At club level, the 28-year-old has scored three goals with four assists in the French Ligue 1 for FC Nantes this season.

He is expected to play a pivotal role in his club’s push to escape relegation as they occupy the 16th position with 23 points after 22 games.
