Victor Moses finally a Chelsea player

Chelsea
are set to sign Nigeria
forward Victor Moses from
Wigan after the European
champions finally met the
Latics’ asking price. The Blues had seen four
bids for Moses rejected by
Wigan chairman Dave
Whelan during the course
of a fractious transfer
saga that had lasted since the end of last season. Whelan
had infuriated Chelsea by
speaking publicly about the
negotiations in a bid to
drive up the price. But Chelsea boss Roberto
Di Matteo is on the verge
of getting his man at the
fifth attempt after Wigan
confirmed they have
accepted an improved offer and have given the
21-year-old permission to
discuss a contract with
the west London club. “The club can confirm that
after four unsuccessful
bids from Chelsea for
Victor Moses, a fifth bid
has today finally met the
valuation and terms set by Wigan Athletic and been
accepted. The player has
been given permission to
speak with Chelsea,” a
statement on Wigan’s
website confirmed. It has been reported that
Wigan were demanding
around £9 million for
Moses, who joined the
Latics from Crystal Palace
in 2010 and has risen to prominence after a series
of impressive displays last
season.
