Chelsea to reward Moses with new deal ![]() Victor Moses © Getty Images English Premier League club, Chelsea will hand Super Eagles winger, Victor Moses with a new contract and will hold talks in 2017 according to the London Evening Standard. The Stamford Bridge will open talks with the Nigerian in the coming days with a view to rewarding him for his impressive displays this season. Moses agreed a four-year deal worth £45,000 a week in 2015 but Chelsea are already willing to negotiate another one and offer the 25-year old a significant pay-rise. The Nigerian international has been one of the surprises in the Premier League this season after becoming a first-team regular at Stamford Bridge. He has netted three league goals for Chelsea this season and his powerful displays have helped Chelsea to the summit of the league standings. Moses joined Chelsea from Wigan for £9 million in 2012 but has been loaned to Liverpool, Stoke and West Ham respectively in the previous three seasons. However, coach Antonio Conte has given him a chance to impress since arriving in the summer and is a huge admirer of the skilful star. Moses has made 14 appearances this season and has started the past seven League games as a right wing back in the new 3-4-3 formation. The 25-year-old scored his fourth goal of the season in the 2-1 win over Tottenham on Saturday and was also named man-of-the-match for a second week in a row.

Mourinho set to lure Mikel to Man Utd ![]() Mikel John Obi © Getty Images Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho is set to make a shock move to bring his former midfielder, Mikel John Obi to Old Trafford from Chelsea. Super Eagles captain, Mikel, has not played under new Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte and there are no plans to renew his contract which runs out this season. The Sun reports that Mourinho is ready to take advantage of the situation with a cut-price New Year offer for the Nigeria international midfielder the Red Devils thought they had signed 10 years ago. Mikel had just turned 19 when the Old Trafford outfit announced on their website that they had signed him on a four-year contract from Norwegian club FC Lyn-Oslo. The £4 million transfer was done directly with the player and his club — bypassing his agents and he was even pictured in a United shirt. But Chelsea angrily claimed they had an agreement with the agents to buy him. Things turned nasty when it was reported Mikel started to get threatening phone calls and ended up having to take refuge in a safe hotel with a security guard. He then went missing from Lyn amid stories he had been kidnapped. Mikel had actually travelled to London where he went on Sky Sports TV to claim that he had been pressured into signing for United, something they denied, and he wanted to join the Blues. The matter was resolved when Chelsea paid United £12 million and FC Lyn-Oslo £4 million. If a deal happens then it will be the second time Mourinho will sign Mikel, who he believes can play in a defensive midfield role in front of the back four. He needs that type of player to give £89 million Paul Pogba freedom to roam. Source: http://mobi.supersport.com/football/nigeria/news/161129/Mourinho_set_to_lure_Mikel_to_Man_Utd 3 Likes |

BascoVanVeli: Don't mean to under rate any of the afore mentioned players especially Mathew, but rave reviews in a Scandinavian league? Not just Scandinavian but Norwegian league of all leagues. Lol Peter Ijeh comes to mind. I was talking about Europe top leagues and u r headed for Scandinavia. Do u even know how many times Salami left our shores for Europe on trials before he finally ended in Kups? If spartak had swooped on Salami, he would have undergone a trial before any deal could be reached. Norwegian league is an obscure league bro don't compare it with the Russian league and I don't think Kups is as good as the worst team in Russia. IMO |

ChrisKels: I asked u guys a while back why is it that Brazilian players cost more and i heard about quality of league. That may be correct but the real reason is that Nigerians have just not been fancied. Etebo alone should tell u that we are being heavily under priced in Europe, Kolanut boy went to Morroco instead of Lille, it says something that an African team was more willing to sign our player than a French team. Mark my words in the coming years the prices will sky-rocket, these same teams will see the errs of their ways, like how dare u let Ifeanyi Matthew go to Norway? Etebo goes to Portugal after the commentator at the u23 afcon said real madrid, barca come get this boy, it just does not add up. |

Honestly, what you say is true. I just no wan talk too much. If Etebo was ETEBINHO... And Brazillian added to what he did in Rio..... Haba!!! Na Chelsea, Man city, Arsenal, Real madrid, Bayern munich and Barcelona go dey scramble for him signature.

BascoVanVeli: Like seriously, will you prefer to employ a worker whose experience is working for some low profile briefcase company over a worker from a Multinational company? That is why players from the top rated leagues cost more. Not fancy. Our players need to boost their profiles from other leagues with higher reputations than ours. |

Icon4s: I couldn't have said it any better sir. Most of our exports from early to mid 2000s disappointed though that trend is gradually changing, thanks to Iheanacho and co who kinda reopened the way. Imagine the Harunas, Akinsolas, chrisantus of this world who were more or less abysmal and bad deals to their European clubs when they were bought without trials, that really tarnished our image to say the least. |
