Moses on loan to West Ham after signing new Chelsea contract

Victor Moses just signed a new four-year contract with Chelsea, the English Premier League champs announced, Tuesday.

Moses remains a Chelsea player after signing a new four-year deal with the EPL champions.

“Moses will spend the remainder of this season on loan at West Ham United,” Chelsea said in the statement.

West Ham United said they are delighted to have Moses on the season-long loan.

Moses, 24, makes the move across London to link up with the Hammers on Tuesday’s transfer deadline.

The 5’10 creator has spent the last two seasons on loan at Liverpool and Stoke City and is delighted to have made the switch to the Boleyn Ground.

Born in Kaduna, Nigeria, Moses grew up in south London and began his football career with Crystal Palace, making his debut aged just 16 in November 2007.

Moses signed the loan deal after passing a medical at West Ham.

He immediately became a regular in the Palace side and played 69 games for the Eagles in all competitions before completing a £2.5m move to then-Premier League team Wigan Athletic in January 2010.

His rapid progress continued at the DW Stadium, where he spent two full seasons and made 74 top flight appearances.

Moses’ form attracted the interest of Chelsea, who brought him back to London in August 2012. He made 43 appearances in his first season with the Blues, scoring ten goals – including four in the Club’s successful UEFA Europa League campaign.

However, he was loaned to Liverpool early the next campaign and played 22 games for the Reds, before another loan and 23 appearances followed at Stoke City last term.

On the international stage, Moses turned out for England up to U21 level, but chose to pledge his allegiance to Nigeria in 2011, since going on to feature in his country’s victorious 2013 Africa Cup of Nations campaign and the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
