Chelsea Loanee Moses Names The Ex-Liverpool Star Who Convinced Him To Join Fenerbahce

Published: January 26, 2019

Victor Moses's transfer to Turkish Super Lig powerhouse Fenerbahce was confirmed on Friday, January 25.

The right winger has revealed that ex-Liverpool star Martin Skrtel and his former Super Eagles teammate Emmanuel Emenike sounded him out over a move to the Yellow Canaries.

Moses and Skrtel know each other from way back as they played on the same Liverpool team during the 2013-2014 season.

''I asked for information from some of the players I played with before. Everyone said positive things. They said great things about the club and the country,'' Moses told Fenerbahce Television.

''And so I couldn’t wait to come here. I spoke with Martin Skrtel. I played with him at Liverpool when I was on loan there.

''He told me how big this club is, how big the support is for the club and the passion of the supporters. He explained how everyone here loves football.

''I also spoke with Emenike. He also told me that I would be very happy here and that I should go.''

Moses will compete with former Premier League stars Islam Slimani, Roberto Soldado and Andre Ayew for the attacking positions at Fenerbahce.
