OFFICIAL: VICTOR MOSES COMPLETES FENERBAHCE LOAN MOVE

Published on: 25 January 2019

Former Nigerian international Victor Moses has joined Fenerbahce on loan until the end of the 2019/20 season according to Chelseafc .com

Moses, who joined the Blues from Wigan Athletic in 2012, was a key member of the Chelsea team which lifted the Premier League in 2017 and FA Cup in 2018, operating primarily as a right wing-back in a 3-4-3 formation.

This season, and a change of shape under Maurizio Sarri, has seen opportunities more limited for the former Nigeria international. He made six appearances for the Blues in all competitions, but has not featured since late October. In total, he has made 128 Chelsea appearances, scoring 18 goals.

Moses, who is 28, now heads to Turkey for the fourth loan spell of his Chelsea career,and will be hoping to boost 15th-placed Fenerbahce’s league position

Moses joined the Blues from Wigan in the summer of 2012, and in the busiest year in the club’s history featured 44 times in six different competitions, following up mid-season Africa Cup of Nations success by lifting the Europa League at the end of his first Chelsea campaign.

Moses spent the next three years on loan elsewhere in the Premier League with Liverpool, Stoke City and West Ham, before returning to Chelsea and earning a place in Antonio Conte’s squad after shining in pre-season.

Having come through as a winger, he was utilised as an energetic, creative and committed wing-back under Conte, helping us set records as we marched to the 2016/17 Premier League title

Having come through as a winger, he wasutilised as an energetic, creative and committed wing-back under Conte, helping us set records as we marched to the 2016/17 Premier League title. The only blot on an otherwise fantastic season for Moses, the best of his career, was a red card against Arsenal in an FA Cup final loss which denied us the Double.

He continued to feature regularly last season, playing 38 games in all competitions and scoring four times, including at Wembley in the Community Shield. Although we did not reach the same levels as the campaign before and missed out on a Champions League spot, the season ended on a high as we lifted the FA Cup after victory over Manchester United.

We wish Victor, a popular member of the squad, all the best on his loan deal in Turkey
