The fortune of former Nigeria’s Super Eagles winger, Victor Moses has changed at his English Premier League side, Chelsea as the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner is among the players retained for the 2020/21 football season.
According to the club website, Moses, who had been declared surplus to requirement at the London based club, was among the four Nigeria eligible players retained by the Stamford Bridge side for next season.
Attacking midfielder cum winger Faustino Anjorin, striker Ike Ugbo and midfielder Tariq Uwakwe are the other Nigeria-eligible players retained.
Moses, who has just 11 months left on his deal at Stamford Bridge, was earlier told that his place in Frank Lampard’s side looks uncertain and the club was planning to offload to Inter for £10million.
Moses, who is currently on loan at Inter Milan, is expected to see out the remainder of the season at Milan based side, before a decision on his long term future will be made.
Anjorin is now contracted to Chelsea until the summer of 2025, Ugbo has a deal until 2021 and Uwakwe is tied to the club until 2022, having inked a fresh three-year deal last summer.
Everything is pointing to the fact that Ugbo will embark on his fifth loan spell next season, having previously spent time on loan at Barnsley, Milton Keynes Dons, Scunthorpe United and Roda JC, where he impressed last term.
