Victor Moses Reportedly Considering Chelsea Future in Latest Transfer Rumours

Matt JonesOct 23, 2018

Chelsea's Victor Moses is said to be considering his future at the club after falling down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge this season. 

According to Nizaar Kinsella of Goal, Moses is unhappy at being on the fringes of the team under new manager Maurizio Sarri, as he's featured in just 26 minutes of Premier League football so far this season.

The Nigeria international developed into a key performer under former manager Antonio Conte, where he was used as a wing-back in the Italian's 3-4-3 system. Moses was particularly brilliant in the 2016-17 term, with Chelsea storming to the Premier League title.

However, Sarri has changed the style and the system at Stamford Bridge, with no wing-backs in place. Instead, he's used Cesar Azpilicueta as a right-back, while the pair of Willian and Pedro have jostled for a spot on the right flank.

The end result has seen Moses' value to the team diminish at Chelsea, with his only start of the campaign coming in the League Cup win over Liverpool at Anfield.

In addition, according to Kinsella, there are doubts over the long-term futures of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Cesc Fabregas and Gary Cahill.

Although there appear to be a number of Chelsea players unhappy with their lack of minutes at the moment, it's difficult to argue with the decisions being made by Sarri since he's arrived, with the Blues just two points off the top of the table.

Broadcaster Alex Goldberg has been impressed by the way the Italian has conducted himself at the club so far:

Former boss Antonio Conte used the energy of Moses brilliantly in the wing-back berth, and while there were occasionally issues defensively, he was a huge threat going forward with his speed and sharp deliveries into the area.

While he may not be getting in the Chelsea side, the 27-year-old will still feel he has something to offer at a high level. He recently called time on his international career too:

At the moment, it doesn't appear likely to be with the Blues, though, as Moses seems to be third choice in the race to start as a right-winger or at right-back.

Based on his experience, explosiveness and versatility, there will surely be some suitors for him if he's made available in January.
