Super Eagles winger Victor Moses could end the season unsure of what the future holds for him in
Moses, who was signed by Chelsea from
Wigan in a deal thought to be around £9m in August 2012, is
expected to end his season-long loan deal at West Ham at the close of
the season.
The 25-year-old South Africa 2013 Africa
Cup of Nations winner, who joined the Hammers in the summer transfer
window after penning a new four-year deal with Chelsea, had loan spells
at Liverpool in 2013-14 and Stoke last season.
However, Moses has slipped down the pecking order at Upton Park after scoring just a goal in 12 Premier League appearances.
The Hammers manager Slaven Bilic, who
has been linked with a move for Manchester United Dutch flop Memphis
Depay, is said to have concluded plans to send Moses back to his parent
club.
But reports in the British media claim
Moses does not feature in Chelsea’s incoming boss Antonio Conte’s
tactical masterplan to rebuild Chelsea for next season, meaning the
Nigerian could be asked to leave Stamford Bridge.
According to the Mirror,
Italy boss Conte wants to switch the Blues to a 4-2-4 formation when
he takes the reins at the London club after the June 10- July 10 Euro
2016 in France.
The 46-year-old former Juventus manager
is said to be pressuring Eden Hazard and Diego Costa to stay at
Chelsea as he is determined to strengthen rather than lose his biggest
players.
The former Italy midfielder has also
set his sights on Atletico Madrid’s France forward Antoine Griezmann,
Paris Saint-Germain playmaker Javier Pastore, Roma’s Radja Nainggolan
and Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci.
Meanwhile, Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic wants to see West Ham’s Dimitri Payet at Stamford Bridge next season.
Payet has been a revelation since
joining from Marseille last summer, scoring 12 goals and assisting as
many to earn a nomination for the PFA Player of the Year.
And Begovic has hailed the 29-year-old set piece specialist, insisting he would like to play alongside him at Chelsea.
“I would go for Dimitri Payet at West Ham,” Begovic was quoted by Express.co.uk as saying on Monday.
