Belgian club KAA Gent have congratulated their former Nigerian player Moses Simon, who won the French Cup with Nantes on Saturday night.
Simon was in action as Nantes won a first French Cup title since 2000, after edging Nice 1-0 thanks to a Ludovic Blas’ 47th minute penalty.
The Super Eagles winger was later replaced in the 73rd minute by Osman Bukari.
And Gent, who also congratulated another of their former player Kalifa Coulibaly, wrote on Twitter:”Congratulations @Simon27Moses and Kalifa Coulibaly on winning the Coupe de France tonight! 🏆 See you in the @europaleague next year! 😉”
Simon played for Gent from 2015 to 2018 and scored 16 goals in 76 appearances.
He has now won his third major trophy in his career after picking up the Belgian Pro League and Super Cup both in 2015.
The 26-year-old has scored six goals, provided eight assists in 33 games in all competitions this season.
Saturday’s win was Nantes’ fourth French Cup title after also clinching it in 1979, 1990 and 2000.
Meanwhile, Simon and his teammates will meet Lionel Messi, Neymar, Kylian Mbappe when Nantes clash with Ligue 1 champions PSG in the French Super Cup in July.
