Nantes winger Moses Simon has been nominated for the Best African Player of the Year award in the French Ligue 1.

The 29-year-old has been in impressive form for the Yellow Canaries in the French top flight this season.

Simon has contributed seven goals and eight assists for Nantes.

The prestigious award, named after former Cameroonian international Marc-Vivien Foé, has previously been won by Vincent Enyeama and Victor Osimhen.

Enyeama became the first Nigerian to win the award during the 2013/14 season.

Victor Osimhen earned the honor in the 2019/2020 season following his outstanding performances for Lille.
