Ligue 1: Strasbourg Boss Identifies Simon as Potential Nemesis Ahead of League Meeting
Strasbourg manager Julien Stephan has identified Nantes winger Moses Simon as a potential threat ahead of their Ligue 1 meeting on Saturday.
Simon has been in impressive form for Nantes this season, scoring five goals and providing three assists in 15 league appearances.
The Nigerian international has been a key part of Nantes' success so far this season, helping them to climb to sixth in the Ligue 1 table.
Stephan is aware of the threat that Simon poses and knows that Strasbourg need to be at their best to stop him.
"Simon is a very good player," Stephan said. "He's quick, skilful and he can score goals. We need to be aware of him and make sure that we don't give him too much space."
Strasbourg will be hoping to continue their good form when they face Nantes on Saturday. They are unbeaten in their last five league games and will be confident of getting a result against Nantes.
However, they will need to be wary of Simon, who could be the key to Nantes getting a win.
