Moses Simon could make history today as FC Nantes gets ready to take on AS Saint-Étienne. The Nigerian winger is on the brink of matching a record set by the club’s legend, Emiliano Sala, if he can put in another standout performance in this crucial encounter.
Simon has been in fantastic form this season, consistently delivering top performances in the last four games.
He scored in Nantes’ 2-0 win over AJ Auxerre and added another goal during their 3-1 victory against Montpellier.
Even in a 2-1 defeat to Reims, Simon provided an important assist, and he repeated that contribution in their 1-1 draw with Angers.
Will Moses Simon Break Emiliano Sala’s Record
As per Soccernet, only Emiliano Sala has shown this level of consistency for Nantes in the 21st century. Sala, who remains a cherished figure at the club, had two impressive streaks of decisive performances, first in 2016 and again in 2018, scoring and assisting in five consecutive games.
Now, Moses Simon has the opportunity to etch his name alongside Sala in Nantes’ history. With a solid performance today against AS Saint-Étienne, one of Nantes’ biggest rivals, Simon could become the first player since Sala to achieve this remarkable feat, and fans are eagerly watching to see if he can rise to the occasion.
