Published: January 23, 2020

Italian Serie A club Inter Milan have finally confirmed the signing of 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner Victor Moses from Premier League side Chelsea.

The Nerazzurri informed via their official website on Thursday afternoon that the former Nigeria international has joined the club on loan for the remainder of the season with an option to buy.

The 29-year-old reunites with his former coach at Chelsea, Antonio Conte, who first used him in the wing-back position, a similar role he is expected to play for Inter Milan.

For the remainder of the 2019-2020 campaign, Moses will play with the number 11 jersey.

In his first words as an Inter Milan player, Moses told Inter TV : "It’s an honour for me to be here and be an Inter player. I’d like to thank everyone for the welcome I’ve been given, I can’t wait to start.

"Having the opportunity to work with the Coach again is something I’m really happy about. I’ve spoken to him and he’s already explained the Club’s project to me.

"I want to be part of it, I’m happy to be here. I’ll give my all and want to help the team. There’s a lot of quality here, I want to make my contribution out on the pitch and enjoy myself. That's the most important thing."

He becomes the eighth Nigerian player to be signed by Inter Milan, following in the footsteps of Joel Obi, Nwankwo Obiora, Taribo West, Nwankwo Kanu, Obafemi Martins, Isah Eliakwu and Victor Obinna.
