In the match against Saint-Etienne, Simon was once again the standout player for Nantes.

Though Saint-Etienne responded with a stunning equaliser from Augustine Boakye, Simonâs contribution was a reminder of his invaluable skill set.
According to KombouarĂ©, Moses Simonâs ability to play multiple positionsâwhether on the wings, as a centre forward, or even as a wingbackâmakes him irreplaceable at Nantes.
“On the left, there’s Simon. He played the game we expected of him. He’s capable of playing anywhere,” KombouarĂ© said as quoted by the club’s official website.
