The Chelsea manager Roberto di Matteo has told Chelsea FC News that he believes that the Wigan athletic winger Victor Moses is exactly the type of player Chelsea need at the moment. After many weeks of discussion with the Premier league club, Chelsea finally managed to secure his signature for around £ 9 million. Victor Moses came to prominence with Crystal Palace before moving to Wigan athletic for around £ 2.5 million. Chelsea initially came with a bid of around £ 3.5 million, which was rejected initially by Wigan. However, after making many increased over the past couple of weeks, Chelsea have finally decided to offer the asking price of £ 9 million for the player.
The Chelsea manager Roberto di Matteo reckons that it is money well spent because Victor Moses is a player who will definitely suit Chelsea because of the new dimension that they will adopt this season. It is expected that the club will be adopting a pass style of football similar to Barcelona following the additions of players like Eden Hazard and Oscar. As a result of these additions, the midfield of the club has become extremely strong according to the manager Roberto di Matteo, who has said that Victor Moses will be capable of playing on the wings for Chelsea.
“Roberto Martinez has done a wonderful job with this player since signing him. He’s really developed him. He had a very good season last year and hopefully we can progress his development He can play on either wing and wing and will give the team width. He has good dribbling ability, has pace and is powerful. We’ve tried very hard to get this player. We like him very much. He’s young and hopefully he’ll be the future of the club,” said Roberto di Matteo after securing the signature of the Nigerian international.
