Chelsea Ready To Offer Moses New Deal To Keep Off Barcelona
Chelsea Ready To Offer Moses New Deal To Keep Off Barcelona
Moses scored the winner, as Chelsea defeated Tottenham 2-1 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, to remain top of the Premier League.
Sky Sports report that the Blues are keen to keep the Super Eagles
star and are prepared to hand him a bumper new contract.Moses spent the
previous three seasons on loan at Liverpool, Stoke City and West Ham,
since he signed for the Blues in 2012.
His current deal expires in the summer of 2019.
Chelsea’s upturn in form since Moses has featured is no coincidence.
Since the Nigerian has taken up the right wing-back berth in Conte’s
new-found 3-4-3 formation, the Blues have won four from four, beating
Hull, Leicester, Manchester United and Southampton, without conceding a
goal.
During the Blues’ trip to St Mary’s, Gary Neville made a throwaway comment suggesting keeping clean sheets is down to mentality. Moses went some way to proving the former Manchester United right-back correct.
Conte’s pronounced actions on the sideline were matched by Moses’s determination to harry the opposition and force them to give up possession. His pace, power and pure athleticism allowed him to stride up and down the right flank and he found success against a narrow Southampton formation.
It was his clever pass behind the Saints defence which allowed Eden
Hazard to open the scoring – his fifth of the season. He also tested
Fraser Forster in the Southampton goal with two powerful strikes from
wide positions, one with his left foot and one with his right, the
former sparking panic amongst the home defence and almost leading to
another Hazard goal.
But it’s Moses’s work in his own half that has impressed so much. No player on the pitch regained possession more times than the Nigerian (9), and he continually tucked in to support Cesar Azpilicueta on the right side of Conte’s back three.
The standing ovation from the Chelsea fans when replaced in the late stages of the game was a reward for his relentless hard work.
So inconsistent over the past couple of seasons, and often so erratic when powering forward, Moses is steadily settling into a tailor-made role under Conte and could very well be key to Chelsea’s Premier League title hopes come the end of the season.

The 25-year-old Nigerian is discovering his true potential in Antonio Conte’s 3-4-3 formation and could be vital if the Blues are to win the Premier League title come May.
Antonio Conte’s decision to introduce Victor Moses into his Chelsea side has proved to be an inspired one. The winger was instrumental in the Blues’ 2-0 win at Southampton on Sunday evening, moving them to within a point of leaders Manchester City in the Premier League table.During the Blues’ trip to St Mary’s, Gary Neville made a throwaway comment suggesting keeping clean sheets is down to mentality.

2 Nigerian Soldiers Dead, 4 Wounded In Boko Haram Attack
Two Nigerian soldiers have been killed with four others injured after militants of Boko Haram sect attacked a community in Askira Uba local government area of Borno State on Wednesday, two local sources said.
Sahara Reporters quoted a source as saying that the Islamist militants stormed the remote village of Huyim village about 2 p.m. on Wednesday, November 23.
“They looted and carted away foodstuff and then burned down the whole village,” said the source.
Another source, who is a local hunter, said that the vigilantes in the attacked community sent an urgent request for troops to assist in repelling the attack.
However, while coming to their aid, the troops’ vehicle rolled on landmines planted by the militants.
“The attackers came on motorcycles and opened fire. They looted farms products and took away livestock. We called the troops for assistance,” said one of the sources.
He added, “Unfortunately, the troops’ vehicle drove over landmines. The mines killed two soldiers and four other soldiers sustained degrees of injuries.”
