Douglas Idahosa, the coach of BJ Foundation FC of Benin, thinks that Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is playing his former pupil Victor Moses out of position.

The famous Nigerian grassroots coach expressed his displeasure that Moses, who was deployed in the number nine role while at his academy, is largely used as a winger by most of the English clubs he has represented.

“When Moses was at Crystal Palace, the difference I noticed is that they converted him to a winger. I would have preferred him to be a top striker which he used to be at BJ Foundation, ” said Idahosa to allnigeriasoccer.com.

“Moses was the captain of my Under 13 team. He was an excellent striker that could score as many goals as Ronaldo de Lima (former Barcelona striker).”

Idahosa added : “Now I have not seen him score the type of goals he used to score with my youth team. I think he has become more of a winger not a fullback. ”

Moses is expected to be named in the Chelsea squad that will face his former team Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
