Nigeria bank on Moses

ABUJA. — Chelsea soccer star Victor Moses will be the man to watch for Nigeria at his second World Cup in Russia after he inspired his country to qualify for their sixth appearance at the finals. A right wing-back at Chelsea and a winger with the Super Eagles, Moses had an eventful 2017.

After being on loan to Stoke City, Liverpool and West Ham United in the past three seasons, Antonio Conte handed the Nigerian star a chance to establish himself at Stamford Bridge in the 2016/17 season.

Moses took his chance with both hands even when he played in an unfamiliar right wing-back position.

He played 34 matches and scored four goals as Chelsea won a third Premier League title last year and, five months later, was part of the Super Eagles side that qualified for the World Cup. — AFP
