Moses Simon Football Profile: Paris FC Winger, Nigeria Caps and Net Worth

Moses Simon is a Nigerian left winger, born on 12 July 1995 in Jos, who joined Paris FC from Nantes in June 2025 on a three year contract. He made his 100th appearance for Nigeria on 25 September 2026 against Madagascar, and Pulse Nigeria published a net worth estimate of about ₦3.405bn in 2022. South African readers who search for him as a soccer player will find the same man here, with every figure dated.

The sections below give the full record. They run from Trenčín to Paris FC with the reported fee, then the 2022 Coupe de France, three AFCON medals and the one chapter still to be written, the World Cup. I will also set out each net worth and salary figure with its outlet and year, because a single unsourced number settles nothing in a viewing centre argument. Think of it as the receipt rather than the rumour. Simon's statistical panels refresh following each appearance, keeping his Nigeria milestones alongside his club output.

Who Is Moses Simon?

Moses Simon is a Jos born forward who plays mostly on the left wing. He reached 100 caps for Nigeria in 2026. He is a member of the Order of the Niger, the national honour.

For readers in a hurry, here are the short answers. His club is Paris FC, which he joined in June 2025 for a reported fee of about €7 million. His landmark cap was the 100th, against Madagascar in an AFCON 2027 qualifier on 25 September 2026, and the running total lives in the caps module. Pulse Nigeria estimated his net worth at about ₦3.405bn (£6.96m) in 2022. That is a published estimate, and the net worth section explains how to read it.

The Road From Jos: Every Club and the Reported Fee

Simon left Jos for Slovakia, and AS Trenčín was where European scouts first noticed him. In 2014-15 he scored 13 league goals in 33 appearances there, which is a striker's return from a teenager who mostly played out wide. That form took him to Gent in Belgium in 2015. He played there from 2015 to 2018; see the career module for his league appearances and goals.

Levante signed him in 2018, and La Liga offered a new setting for his direct wing play. The spell added Spanish football to his experience before Levante loaned him to Nantes in 2019-20. See the career module for his league appearances and goals at both clubs and the date his Nantes move became permanent.

Nantes is where Simon became a fixture for Nigerian viewers who follow Ligue 1. In May 2025 he passed 200 appearances for the club in all competitions. See the career module for his league appearances and goals.

Simon joined Paris FC in June 2025 on a three year contract, for a reported fee of about €7 million. That is the move in his career with the most widely reported price. He was a month short of his 30th birthday, so the fee was a club paying real money for experience. Each Paris FC outing feeds Simon's career statistics, allowing readers to follow that chapter through refreshed appearance and scoring totals. The table below covers league games only, up to the end of the 2024-25 season.

Why Did Simon Leave Nantes for Paris FC?

The short answer is that the move suited both sides. Nantes received a fee of about €7 million for a player late in his twenties. Simon received a three year contract with a club that was building a Ligue 1 squad. He left after 200 appearances and a Coupe de France, and it could be argued that he gave Nantes the best of his peak years. For a winger whose game rests on running, a fresh contract at that age is a sign of how much he was valued.

The salary reports point the same way. Pulse Nigeria reported his Nantes wage at about £29,000 a week in 2022. Afrik-Foot, citing the 2025/26 salary list compiled by L'Equipe, put his Paris FC pay at about €200,000 a month in April 2026. The figures come from different years and currencies, so they do not establish a like for like increase. Think of a senior engineer who moves from one Lekki firm to another: comparing the packages means checking the currency, date and terms.

What Does Moses Simon Do on the Pitch?

Simon is a left winger who attacks the full back directly. He can also play as a forward off a striker, and his Trenčín season of 13 league goals shows he can finish too. Perhaps his real strength is repetition. He uses the same quick feints and the same burst into the space behind, over and over for ninety minutes, and that keeps a defender on the back foot.

If one match defines his club career, it is the Coupe de France final of 7 May 2022. Nantes beat Nice 1-0 at the Stade de France, with Simon in the team, and lifted the trophy for the fourth time in the club's history. For Nigerian viewers it was a proud Saturday night. A Super Eagle had won a major French final.

Coaches also value him for the running he does without the ball. He tracks back down the left, which frees the full back behind him to push on. That two way work is a large part of why he stayed in Nigeria squads for more than a decade. In my opinion, it is the quietest part of his game and an important contribution to the career that brought him to 100 caps in 2026. His willingness to recover possession complements Nigeria's attacking options.

For Simon's changing performance figures and availability, consult the automatically refreshed statistical panels before assessing his contribution down Nigeria's left flank. Read appearances alongside minutes played. A winger who starts and plays eighty minutes is doing different work from one who comes off the bench. Assists and chances created tell you more about Simon than goals alone, because on many of his best nights someone else does the celebrating. If you are judging his season, those two lines are where to look first.

Simon and the Super Eagles: Debut, Three AFCON Medals and the Caps Module

Simon made his Nigeria debut in March 2015 against Uganda, aged 19, under the interim coach Daniel Amokachi. Uganda Cranes fans therefore saw the first cap of a future centurion. His first international goal came against Niger in Port Harcourt on 8 September 2015, six months after that debut.

His AFCON record is the strongest part of his Super Eagles story. He won bronze in 2019 and again in 2025. He was also part of the squad that finished runner up at AFCON 2023 in Ivory Coast. Three AFCON medals is a collection few Nigerian players can match, and he added the Unity Cup with Nigeria in 2025. Ghanaian supporters who enjoy the jollof debate will know that Black Stars and Super Eagles supporters keep score in medals as well as results.

The 100th cap came in the AFCON 2027 qualifier against Madagascar, reported on 25 September 2026. Afrik-Foot called him the fifth Super Eagles player to reach 100 caps. Other Nigerian reports count him sixth, so his exact place on that list depends on whose count you follow. The caps and goals module above carries the running totals, so it stays correct after every international window.

So, where does he rank among Nigeria's wingers? By caps and AFCON medals, he belongs near the top of any list a Lagos viewing centre could draw up, and he sits comfortably among the African footballers who built long careers in France. The World Cup is another chapter to follow through the records module. He missed the 2018 tournament through injury.

Moses Simon net worth

In November 2022, Pulse Nigeria valued Simon's wealth at approximately ₦3.405bn (£6,961,240). This remains a published estimate for that year; it does not establish his wealth today.

Pulse Nigeria's 2022 report placed his Nantes earnings near £29,000 weekly, equivalent to approximately £1.5 million across a full year. For Paris FC, Afrik-Foot quoted L'Equipe's 2025/26 salary list in April 2026: approximately €200,000 monthly, equivalent to €2.4 million annually. Readers converting either report into naira, shillings, rand or cedis should retain its publication date alongside the conversion rate.

Endorsement income, image rights and personal assets cannot be calculated from those wage reports. Simon's published salary figures therefore offer only a limited view of his finances.

Nantes received the reported €7 million fee when Simon moved to Paris FC in June 2025; that payment does not represent his personal earnings. Establishing his wealth would require a dated account of assets and liabilities, which the cited reporting does not provide.

How to Watch Moses Simon From Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana and Uganda

To follow Simon for Paris FC or Nigeria, start with the viewing module's country selector. Its television and streaming entries refresh as coverage arrangements change, helping supporters in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana and Uganda find the relevant listing. Select the Paris FC fixture for his club football or the Nigeria fixture for his Super Eagles appearances.

For an evening watching Simon in Paris, check whether France is using its summer or winter clock. A 21:00 start in the French winter gives his followers these local times: WAT 21:00, EAT 23:00, SAST 22:00 and GMT 20:00. If the French summer clock applies, the equivalent viewing times become WAT 20:00, EAT 22:00, SAST 21:00 and GMT 19:00. Nigerian supporters use WAT, Kenyan and Ugandan supporters use EAT, South African supporters use SAST, and Ghanaian supporters use GMT when checking Simon's listing.

For Simon's international appearances, convert from the venue's local clock once Nigeria's scheduled kick off is confirmed. A fixture listed at 20:00 EAT, for instance, begins at 18:00 WAT, with South African viewers watching at 19:00 SAST and Ghanaian viewers at 17:00 GMT. The four clocks in Simon's fixture module let supporters across Kampala, Lagos, Johannesburg and Accra arrange to watch together. Before watching his work on Nigeria's left, check that the fixture listing still carries the same start time.
