The Nigerian international has scored six (6) goals in eight matches for Lorient during the 2022/23 league season to take his club to third place on the log behind only Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille.

Lorient have ramped up 19 points from their first 8 league matches, recording six (6) wins, one (1) draw, and one (1) loss so far.

Moffi is currently the third highest goalscorer in the league with his six (6) league goals only bettered by PSG duo Neymar and Mbappe who have scored eight (8) goals and seven (7) goals respectively. 

With Napoli superstar Victor Osimhen and Real Sociedad new signing Umar Sadiq both unavailable for the Algeria friendly, Moffi is expected to feature predominantly as the Super Eagles take on Algeria.

The 23-year-old is the most in-form Nigerian striker so far this season with Nottingham Forest's Taiwo Awoniyi having scored only two (2) league goals so far while Cyriel Dessers is yet to score his first goal for new club Cremonese.
