Super Eagles winger Victor Moses could end
the season unsure of what the future holds for him in the summer.
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.
