Levante's Moses Simon insists competition is good for him, and other Nigeria wingers are used to it.
The former Gent player was one of Gernot Rohr's trusted legs during the successful 2018 World Cup qualifiers, impressing in four of the six games. But the German tactician was forced to drop him from his World Cup squad after he picked up a muscle injury during the final preparations.
Simon was recalled for Nigeria's doubleheader against Libya but prior to the games, other widemen had sprung up with his former Gent teammate Samuel Kalu taking his chance in September's tie against Seychelles - an encounter he missed after a relapse of the muscular problem at his new club - while Everton loanee Henry Onyekuru also caught the eyes in the following friendly against Liberia.
