The former KAA Gent star added another trophy to his medal cabinet on Saturday night after helping the Yellow Canaries to the French Cup triumph
Nigerian winger Moses Simon has revealed the secret behind the successful campaign he is enjoying in France this season with Nantes.
Simon has been one of Nantes' best performers in the French Ligue 1, notching six goals and eight assists as well as three player-of-the-month awards, including that of April.
