Victor Moses May Reunite With Nigerian Coach As Fulham Join Race For Chelsea Star

Published: December 10, 2018

Fulham have joined Premier League rivals Crystal Palace in the race for the signature of ex-Super Eagles dazzler Victor Moses, according to reports in the English press.

The online edition of The Sun says the Cottagers are also monitoring the situation of the Nigerian winger, who is valued in the region of £12 million by Chelsea.

Nigerian manager Colin Omogbehin, who coaches Fulham U18 team, could play a big role in convincing Moses to join Fulham, rather than returning to Palace, where he spent nine years.

Omogbehin served as a mentor to Moses during his teething years at Crystal Palace Academy and both master and pupil remain very close to this day.

It is looking likely that the former Nigeria international will end his six-year association with Chelsea in the January transfer window due to his lack of first-team opportunities, with only six matches played this season from a possible 24 in all competitions.

The 27-year-old is contracted with The Blues until June 30, 2021.
