Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo yesterday confirmed that the European champions are close to signing Nigeria forward Victor Moses from Wigan.
Di Matteo’s team had an improved offer, reported to be worth £9 million ($14 million), accepted for Moses on Thursday after failing with four previous bids for the 21-year-old.Moses is believed to have travelled to London for a medical and was to discuss personal terms and Di Matteo expects the former Crystal Palace star will be confirmed as a Chelsea player shortly.
“The clubs have agreed terms now. The player will have a medical. Subject to that he might become a Chelsea player,” said Di Matteo.
“(Wigan manager) 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 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.”
