Victor Moses Rejects Wigan's Attempts to Extend His Contract

Victor Moses, Wigan's dynamic young attacker, looks set to leave the Latics sooner rather than later after rejecting a contract extension with the club.

Moses has one year left on his current deal at Wigan and manager Roberto Martinez has expressed his hopes to keep the 21-year-old for much longer.

But despite his manager's firm belief in him, Moses appears to have his eyes on grander locales.

The player's agent told Supersport.com on Wednesday that Moses is not interested in signing a new deal with Wigan.

"We were about to start talks on the extension when [Moses] said he does not want to sign a new deal," Tony Finnigan said. "Victor Moses has played himself into a position where virtually every club in the Premier League want to sign him."

Tottenham and Liverpool are rumored to be considering a move for Moses in the summer and an Aston Villa scout watched his performance against Arsenal on Monday.

It's no secret what they all see.

Moses is among the most dangerous players in the Premier League with the ball at his feet. His craft has been instrumental in Wigan's late season move away from the relegation zone and has led his manager to compare him to Barcelona's Lionel Messi.

Whether he stays or goes, club supporters will thank Moses if the Latics are able to successfully stave off the drop.

With four games remaining in their season, Wigan sit five points clear of the relegation zone.
