The Super Eagles duo have successfully secured their spot in the French Ligue 1 for the 2022-2023 season.
FC Lorient have avoided relegation to the French Ligue 2 after picking up a priceless point against already relegated Bordeaux.
Moffi started the game but was replaced in the second half, while Bonke played no part at all.
In the 36 league games this season, the 22-year-old has eight goals and four assists.
Bonke who joined the club in January made 12 league appearances for the Les Merlus.
Lorient have guaranteed a place in the French top division for next season, sitting 17th with 35 points after 37 games, four points clear of the relegation zone.
The award has previously been won by two Nigerians, with goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama winning in 2014 and Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen winning two years ago. Gael Kakuta of the Democratic Republic of Congo won the award last year.

Following his outstanding year with Nantes, Simon is a strong contender for the prize this year. One of the reasons why the Yellow Canaries are flying high in the French top flight is because of the Super Eagles star.
This season, the 26-year-old Nigerian international has produced 26 percent of Nantes’ league goals (three goals and seven assists). Simon’s efforts were recognized earlier this season when he was named player of the month for August and September by Nantes.
However, the dynamic winger will go up against 11 other African players, including Moroccan full-back Achraf Hakimi of Paris Saint-Germain and Cameroonian Karl Toko Ekambi of Olympique Lyon.
The winner will be announced on May 16, 2022.
