Nigeria forward Moses Simon is one of five players nominated for the prestigious Ebony Award for the best African player in Belgium this season.
'Daddy' Simon, 19, has made an immediate impact in the Belgian top flight after he scored six goals in
seven matches for Gent on arrival in the winter from AS Trencin of Slovakia.
It is a form which earned the dashing forward his full international debut for Nigeria last month against Uganda as well as a recall to the Nigeria U20 team, who are bound for next month’s FIFA U20 World Cup in New Zealand.
Several top Nigeria stars including Celestine Babayaro, Daniel Amokachi have won this award now in its 24th year.
The other nominees for this year’s top prize are DR Congo stars Neeskens Kebano, Chansel Mbemba, Youri Tielemans as well as Kara Mbodj from Senegal.
Kebano, Mbemba and Mbodj featured at the 2015 AFCON in Equatorial Guinea.
The overall winner of the award will be known on May 11.
