Nantes announced on their website: βWith nine goals and eight assists in 30 games played, all competitions combined, Moses Simon left a lasting impression. He is voted “Canary of the 2019-2020 season by Iliane” by you, supporters of the Yellow and Green.β

Simon was Nantes’ top scorer with nine goals across all competitions, including five Ligue 1 goals and he registered eight assists β the highest in the team.
The French club have since triggered the option to buy him permanently after his successful loan spell from La Liga side UD Levante. Β
The Pacy winger signed for Levante from Belgian giants Gent on a five-year contract in August 2018, scoring just a goal in 19 games.
Paris Saint-Germain were declared Ligue 1 champions after French Prime Minister, Edouard Philippe, disclosed that no sporting events will be held in the country until September at the earliest, thereby cancelling the remainder of the Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 season, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
