The Nigerian international has either scored or assisted in four consecutive matches, beginning with a goal in a 2-0 victory against AJ Auxerre and culminating with an assist in the encounter against Angers SCO on matchday five.
As he continues to shine in Ligue 1, Moses also carried his form into international duty, assisting in Nigeria’s recent 1-0 win over Libya during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The Super Eagles star will look to maintain his momentum as Nigeria prepares to face the Mediterranean Knights in the second leg of the qualifiers at Benina Martyrs Stadium.
Moses’ achievement aligns with that of fellow Super Eagles forward Chidera Ejuke, who previously topped the dribbling statistics in a top-five European league.
