5 African youngsters to keep an eye on in European Leagues

#2 Moses Simon

KAA Gent v Tottenham Hotspur - UEFA Europa League Round of 32: First Leg

Moses Simon is an electrifying winger with perfect ball control, awesome pace and exquisite dribbling skills. He almost joined Ajax Amsterdam in 2013, even scoring for them in pre-season matches before he eventually signed for AS Trencin in 2014. He was then snapped up by Belgian club, Gent.

In his first campaign for Gent, Simon scored 7 goals and contributed numerous assists on their way to finishing second, qualifying them for the Champions League. At a young age, the potential is promising, as some English Premier League's top clubs like Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, are said to be showing interest.
