Being in the final is just an ample opportunity for Simon Moses to win something in his career and probably compete in Europe next season. Best of Luck
Rather, to add to his trophy cabinet as he has won the Belgian league and cup.
Most likely he will be in the premiership next season
French League is good for Moses. He is a great guy.
