Les Canaries played a 1-1 draw away at Monaco after coming from a goal down to end the meeting in a stalemate - with the Eagles winger taking responsibility for their goal in the encounter.

Meanwhile, with just five assists and six goals in 33 Ligue 1 appearances last campaign, Moses is definitely on course to surpass the numbers this new term.

The attacker ended up contributing 12 goals - six goals and six assists in all competitions for Nantes after featuring in 36 games in the 2020-21 league season.

He has also become one of coach Gernot Rohr's go-to-man whenever the national team has an assignment to prosecute owing to his wide-range experiences on the flanks.
