Victor Moses set for Chelsea move as Wigan accept £9m bid Wigan Athletic have accepted a £9m bid from Chelsea for forwardVictor Moses. Chelsea have had four previous bids for the former England Under-21 international rejected. "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," a club statement read. Chelsea have offered £7m up front, with a further £2m in add- ons. Wigan have now given the Nigeria international permission to speak to the Champions League winners. Victor Moses Age: 21 Clubs: Crystal Palace, Wigan Nationality: Nigerian (3 caps) Did you know? Moses played for England at Under-16, U17, U19 and U21 level before pledging his allegiance to Nigeria. Moses, 21, joined Wigan from Crystal Palace on a three-and-a-half-year deal in January 2010 for a reported fee of £2.5m. He scored six goals for the Latics last season, playing a key part in their successful bid to stay in the Premier League. Wigan manager Roberto Martinez was impressed by the forward's performance against Chelseain the Blues' 2-0 victory at the DW Stadium on Sunday. "Victor is an incredible young man and I think the maturity he showed on Sunday is not normal in a 21-year-old," he said. The Spaniard was keen to keep Moses at the DW Stadium, but knew that Wigan were likely to accept a bid for the player if another club met their asking price. "You will get all sorts of speculation and talk, but the reality is every player has a valuation," he said. "If a club matches that valuation, then maybe you have to sit down with the player and there is a decision to be made." |
