| Wigan chairman says Chelsea are offering an unrealistic bid for the Nigerian.. |
Like I said in the previous article that how untrue and absurd rumors are being printed daily. Chelsea were being linked to Moses and were reported to have submitted a 10 million bid for the Nigerian but fresh reports from the UK suggest a new story…
A report on Sky Sports read as follows-
Wigan Athletic have rejected an offer from European champions Chelsea for forward Victor Moses, Sky Sports can reveal.
The 21-year-old Nigeria international has just 12 months left on his current deal and has so far shunned Wigan’s advances over an extension.
A host of clubs are known to be tracking the former Crystal Palace man, who scored six goals in 37 league games last term – playing mainly on the wing.
Now Chelsea have decided to make their move and have lodged a bid with the Lancashire club, but that has already been rejected.
Sky Sports understands that the offer fell short of Wigan’s valuation of the player but Chelsea are expected to continue talks.A number of rival Premier League clubs are believed to be monitoring the situation.
This is what Wigan’s chairman had to say-
‘Chelsea would need to get realistic before we would even listen to them,’ Whelan told ESPN.
‘They made a bid at 6pm last night and we turned it down flat.
‘Roberto Martinez has brought this player on and he needs at least another year with Roberto to become a top player.
‘We have offered him a new contract but it seems the agent, more than the player, wants to move him on, at least that is the impression we are getting.
‘It cannot be for the player’s good. Victor Moses needs another year or two before moving to a club like Chelsea.
‘He needs games and he won’t be first choice at Chelsea, I wouldn’t have thought.
‘We don’t need to sell him with 12 months to go on his contract because he is under 24 so wouldn’t be going on a free transfer.
‘Ideally we would like him to sign a new contract, or a club like Chelsea would have to be realistic. At the moment, they are taking the Mickey with the bid they’ve made.’
Well the transfer seaon is really an uncertain and a period full of speculation. Now let’s see if CFC are willing to submit a new and improved offer for Victor Moses.
Stay tuned for more unpredictable transfer gossip…
Till then KTBFFH!

Valuable info. Lucky me I found your site accidentally,
and I’m shocked why this twist of fate didn’t took place earlier!
