Why Victor Moses Was Not Loaned Out For Fourth Consecutive Season? Chelsea Boss Explains
Published: March 03, 2017
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has explained that Victor Moses was not farmed out on loan for the fourth consecutive season last August because he impressed during pre-season training.
Having enjoyed loan spells at Liverpool, Stoke City and West Ham, the Nigeria international is now an important member of The Blues starting XI and the Italian has stressed that he is there on merit.
“When I saw him during pre-season I was very clear with him that he would stay here for the whole season, ” Conte told the national press at Friday’s press conference.
“I said I hope he’s happy with that and he said he was very happy to stay and try to prove himself and prove he was ready to play for Chelsea.
“I’m pleased for him, he deserves it and nobody gifted him anything.”
Moses penned a two-year contract extension this week which will see him remain at Stamford Bridge until the end of the 2020-2021 season.
