Liverpool Snap Up Chelsea’s Victor Moses On A Season Long Loan

Moses joins Liverpool on a season long loan after being pushed down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge, making the winger desperate for a move out of the club.

Liverpool have completed the signing of Chelsea winger Victor Moses on a season long loan as Brendan Rodgers makes it his 3rd signing of the day, following defenders Mamadou Sakho & Tiago Ilori. The winger was spotted yesterday during Liverpool’s 1-0 victory against fierce rivals Manchester United as he watched from the stands alongside his fellow new team-mates. Moses has been extremely out-favoured at the Bridge as the likes of Hazard, Schurrle, De Bruyne and Oscar have pushed the Nigerian way down the pecking order.

The 22 year old began his career with Crystal Palace in which he made his way up the club’s youth ranks, going on to be another future talent alongside Wilfreid Zaha. After showing much potential as a winger, Moses took his place in the starting 11 as he went on to make a total of 69 appearances for the Eagles, netting 11 times. His impressive run of form and rapid development saw him move to former Premier League side Wigan Atheltic in which he really exposed his potential. Moses went on to make a 80 appearances for the Latics in which he caught the eye of high flying Chelsea, completing a switch back to London in 2012. The 22 year old made an average impact at the club as he experienced regular first team football under Di Matteo, falling down the pecking order under inermim boss Rafael Benitez. The additions of high profile players to Chelsea summoned Moses to much time on the sidelines as he grew desperate for a move away from the club as Liverpool look to play the winger in their starting 11.

Overall this is a fantastic signing by Brendan Rodgers as Moses offers trickory, blistering pace and even an eye for goal. A player who Liverpool have lacked over recent years will surely make a positive impact at the club as a young exciting talent will be certainly one for the fans. A player who can also deliver into the box will be looking to assist high flying Daniel Sturridge as the pairing will certainly be looking to make a statement throughout this year’s campaign. A top transfer by the Reds boss as this move could even turn out to be a permanent one if Moses lives up to his expectations.
