Liverpool sign Victor Moses from Chelsea

The Nigerian international will play for Anfield giants Liverpool this season, as a loan deal has been agreed for the winger.

Both clubs finally agreed a £1m fee for the season-long loan switch for the Nigeria winger, according to the Guardian of UK.


Moses, signed by Chelsea from Wigan Athletic last summer for £9m, has slipped down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge after the summer arrivals of Willian and André Schürrle, and Kevin De Bruyne’s return  from his loan spell at Werder Bremen.

Chelsea have accumulated a number of players capable of operating from attacking midfield and the  23-year-old has been granted permission to seek first-team football elsewhere.

Brendan Rodgers had earmarked him as a potential recruit earlier this summer and, despite Chelsea’s initial reluctance to loan the player to a Premier League rival, the Liverpool manager has now been given approval by the Europa League winners to pursue the deal.

Moses was in Prague on Friday for Chelsea’s defeat to Bayern Munich in the Super Cup final, in which he did not feature, but has made clear his desire to move to Merseyside – despite interest from West Bromwich Albion,  Southampton and Everton over the course of the summer – and will complete the move before Monday’s transfer deadline with the loan fee now agreed.
