Nigeria international will play for
Anfield giants Liverpool this season as a loan deal has been agreed for the
winger.
Both clubs finally agreed a £1m fee
for the season-long loan switch for the Nigeria winger, according to the
Guardian of UK.
Moses, signed by Chelsea from Wigan
Athletic last summer for £9m, has slipped down the pecking order at Stamford
Bridge after the summer arrivals of Willian and André Schürrle, and Kevin De
Bruyne’s return from his loan spell at Werder Bremen.
Chelsea have accumulated a number of
players capable of operating from attacking midfield and the 23-year-old
has been granted permission to seek first-team football elsewhere.
Brendan Rodgers had earmarked him as
a potential recruit earlier this summer and, despite Chelsea’s initial
reluctance to loan the player to a Premier League rival, the Liverpool manager
has now been given approval by the Europa League winners to pursue the deal.
Moses was in Prague on Friday for
Chelsea’s defeat to Bayern Munich in the Super Cup final, in which he did not
feature, but has made clear his desire to move to Merseyside – despite interest
from West Bromwich Albion, Southampton and Everton over the course of the
summer – and will complete the move before Monday’s transfer deadline with the
loan fee now agreed.
