Victor Moses
Chelsea Manager, Mauricio Sarri has told former Nigerian
international, Victor Moses that he is not in his plans and therefore
should be ready to leave.
Moses was a super regular in Chelsea’s line up during Antonio
Conte’s reign, but since Sarri took over in Stamford Bridge, the Super
Eagles former star has made only one appearance on the team.
On Wednesday when Sarri named a largely second team in the Carabao
Cup clash with Derby County, Moses was not even in the matchday squad
prompting questions on his continued stay with the London side.
Footballlive.ng quotes the Italian as saying last night that Moses
has not been in his squad only because he does not know where the
27-year-old Nigerian can fit in.
Dramatically, Chelsea youth team graduates, Calum Hudson Odoi and
Ruben Loftus-Cheeks are now ahead of Moses, thereby raising strong
permutations that the ex-Super Eagles star is bound to leave Stamford
Bridge in January.
Reports rom London said Sarri has already held clear-the-air talks
with Moses and told the star he is not in plans for the team, hence his
absence on Wednesday.
Moses has made only one start this season and was a surprise
omission from the squad against Derby, despite training with the team
the previous day.
However, additional information reveals that his former coach at
Chelsea, Jose Mourinho, who is now in charge at Manchester United, is on
the hunt for Moses.
Mourinho actually needs a new striker, as both Romelu Lukaku and
Marcus Rashford have not totally convinced this season with only five
goals between them in 24 competitive games, but Moses could fit in.
The three attack-minded players being considered by the old
Trafford outfit are Moses, Eintracht Frankfurt’s Croatia star Ante Rebic
and AS Roma’s Cengiz ünder.
After joining Chelsea in August 2012, Moses was farmed out on loan
to Liverpool, Stoke City and West Ham United before the arrival of The
Blues’ former manager, Antonio Conte.
The 27-year-old winger, who has a contract with Chelsea until June
30, 2021, found his range under Conte, but things have gone back to his
ugly early days at Stamford Bridge, and he is heading out again.
