Stoke City announced signing Victor Moses for a season-long loan from Chelsea FC, on August 16, 2014, Saturday.
According on the information published on the official website of
the club, Moses becomes Stoke’s sixth signing since the end of 2013/14
English Premier League Season.
The team pursued a deal to sign Liverpool’s winger, Moroccan Oussama
Assaidi, but then decided that the 23-year-old Nigerian star, who can
play on both flanks and in a more central attacking role, would suit
them.
The chief executive of Stoke City expressed confidence that this is a worthy signing:
“We are delighted to have secured the services of such an exciting young talent in Victor.
“He will certainly add to our attacking options and from talking
to him it’s obvious that he’s really excited about the prospect of
making an [EPL] impact.”
Nigerian-born Moses first represented England at the
international level to the under-21s. Then he decided to join the Super
Eagles.
Moses started his career in England at Crystal Palace. He further has
struggled to make an impact at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea FC since
moving from Wigan for £9 million ($15 million) in 2012 and spent last
season on loan at Liverpool.
He started six Premier League games for Liverpool last term and
featured in a further 13 from the bench, scoring his only goal on his
debut against Swansea.
The attacking midfielder had appeared in all Nigeria’s matches at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
