Super Eagles star Moses Simon has been placed ahead in the ranking of the fastest players in the French Ligue 1 this season compared to Paris Saint-Germain’s forward, Kylian Mbappe.
The Nigerian international who plays for Nantes beat out some of the league’s fastest wingers, including Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele, to make the list after four rounds of games.
Simon is quite known for his dribbling skills on the left wing and also his pace, which makes it difficult for defenders to cope with.
As per reports, the Nigerian winger is ranked as the second fastest player in the French league, clocking a speed of 35.97 km/h. The top position is held by Olympique Marseille defender Jonathan Clauss, who recorded a speed of 36.11 km/h.
Kylian Mbappe, who was at the center of a contract dispute with PSG at the start of the season, was not included in the top 10 list, along with Ousmane Dembele.
Simon’s teammate at Nantes, Kader Bamba, is ranked third on the list, with a top speed of 35.88 km/h. Clermont Foot winger Jim Allevinah is in fourth place, with the same top speed.
