Super Eagles winger Moses Simon has been nominated for Ligue 1 Goal of the Month for December /January.
Simon’s stunning strike in Nantes’ hard-earned 1-0 victory over over Stade Rennes at the Stade de la Beaujoire on December 8 is among the five goals up for the award.
The 29- year-old dribbled past three Rennes players before unleashing a powerful shot into the net from the edge of the box.
