Super Eagles star Terem Moffi makes Ligue 1's Team of the Week

OGC Nice striker Terem Moffi was named in the Ligue 1 Team of the Week after a stellar performance against Paris Saint-Germain.

The Nigerian forward notched two goals and provided an assist in Nice's thrilling 3-2 victory over the defending champions.

Moffi's goals showcased his prowess, with the first being a clinical header from a Gaetan Laborde cross. His second goal displayed his individual brilliance as he dribbled past two PSG defenders before slotting the ball into the bottom corner.

His assist was equally impressive, delivering a perfectly weighted through ball to Laborde, who calmly slotted it home, giving Nice a 2-1 lead.

Moffi's outstanding performance earned him a remarkable rating of 9.0 from Sofascore, the second-highest in Ligue 1 over the weekend.

Nevertheless, he narrowly missed out on the Player of the Week award, which went to Metz goalkeeper Alexandre Oukidja, who made ten crucial saves to secure a 1-0 win over Lens.

Moffi's recent display against PSG adds to his growing list of impressive showings. He now boasts three goals and two assists in just five appearances this Ligue 1 season.

In total, Moffi has amassed 43 Ligue 1 goals in 108 games during his four seasons in France. Only two Nigerians in history, Victor Ikpeba with 55 goals and John Utaka with 59, have scored more in the French top flight than Moffi.

Moffi's stellar performances for Nice have drawn the attention of several top European clubs, with rumours swirling about potential transfers to various Premier League teams. Should he maintain this level of play, it's only a matter of time before he secures a move to a larger club.
