Super Eagles' Simon, Moffi outshine PSG's Mbappe in speed

Posted : 26 October 2023
Moses Simon and Terem Moffi, both Super Eagles stars, have earned spots among the top ten fastest players in Ligue 1. According to the official Ligue 1 website, Moses Simon, who plays for Nantes, ranks as the third-fastest player in the French division, boasting a top speed of 35.97 km/h this season. This achievement places him behind only Jonathan Clauss of Marseilles and Andy Pelmard, who plays as a left-back for Clermont Foot.

Moses Simon shares the third spot with Folarin Balogun from AS Monaco and the well-known former Arsenal and Chelsea striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. It's interesting to note that Folarin Balogun, who had been eligible to play for Nigeria, made the choice last year to represent the United States on the international stage.

Another Super Eagles' representative on this list is Terem Moffi from OGC Nice, securing the tenth position with a speed of 35.89 km/h. Moffi is only slightly slower than Abdoul Kader Bamba from FC Nantes, who holds the sixth position, and Kenny Lala from Brest, ranked seventh.

Notably, Emanuel Emegha, a forward from Strasbourg, who also has Nigerian heritage, shares the eighth position with Paris Saint-Germain's Moroccan full-back, Achraf Hakimi. Born in the Netherlands to a Togolese father and a Nigerian mother, the twenty-year-old Emegha is a Dutch youth international.

Curiously, Kylian Mbappe, the PSG superstar, did not make it into the list of the top ten fastest players in Ligue 1 this season. Despite his renowned speed, Mbappe currently holds the 17th position, with a top speed of 35.67 km/h.

The ranking for the top speed this season in Ligue 1 Uber Eats is as follows:

Andy Pelmard (CF63): 36.14 km/h
Jonathan Clauss (OM): 36.11 km/h
Moses Simon (FC Nantes): 35.97 km/h
— Folarin Balogun (AS Monaco): 35.97 km/h
— Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (OM): 35.97 km/h
Abdoul Kader Bamba (FC Nantes): 35.95 km/h
Kenny Lala (SB29): 35.94 km/h
Achraf Hakimi (PSG): 35.90 km/h
— Emanuel Emegha (RCSA): 35.90 km/h
Terem Moffi (OGC Nice): 35.89 km/h.
