Chelsea Transfer News: Blues Set For Crunch Talks Over £10m Midfielder
By Football Talk Published: 18th August 2012With the summer transfer window in full swing, Football Talk will be keeping you up-to-date with all the latest transfer news throughout the summer. Today, Chelsea are warned over Victor Moses.
Chelsea are set to hold crunch talks with Wigan Athletic this weekend over the signing of Victor Moses, according to the Daily Mail.
The Blues travel to the DW Stadium for their Premier League opener on Sunday and it’s believed officials from the two clubs will sit down after the game to finally try and trash out a deal.
The European champions have been tracking the Nigerian attacker all summer but have so far been unable to agree terms with Wigan.
The Latics are demanding £10m – with £7m up front and £3m in add ons – for the 24-year-old, who has only one year left on his current contract.
Chelsea have already agreed personal terms with the player but have refused to meet Wigan owner Dave Whelan’s demands in terms of a transfer fee, and manager Roberto Martinez has now warned he would rather see the player go for nothing next summer than sell him on the cheap now.
‘I would rather lose Victor for nothing next summer than let another club get him for less than he is worth.’
Martinez is quoted as saying in the Daily Mail
The player wants to move to Stamford Bridge, Chelsea want the player, and Wigan understand they have to sell if a decent offer comes in. In all likely-hood, a compromise will be reached on Sunday and the deal will go through next week.

Get moses, hulk and Apz. CFC
pls.4give me let alone for me i’ll shaun a big name striker to cover up for torres anytime the need arise…i sign moses,marco Rues or mario Gotze and Azipillicueta to rap up the transfer for the summar.
marco reus ok,mosses ok,how can u sign gotze you are rediculous
well, I won’t pay £10m for a 22yr old who has less than a year left on his contract & who isn’t exactly an established star yet if I were Chelsea. Plus, Chelsea doesn’t exactly NEED him now, so that puts ‘em in d drivin seat
Pls cfc go get he b/4 is too late chelsea 4 live.
Cfc should try nd cum up wit £8m,bt if rejectd ,dy shuld 4get hm 4 nw..
plz cfc we nid moses 2 help torres.
Makoun. Is d one we need 2 replace drogba
Pls. Cfc go and find a beta striker dat can make anoda club to fear like tevez
Chelsea need a prolific striker like Calvani or Falcao 2 enable us challeage 4 honor dis season. Torres is not yet a tread up front so we need either of dis guy in our attack.
moses is 21 years old…not 24
Moses will be a deadline day transfer or till next summer that’s chelsea target, they want Wigan to dance to their tune, chelsea wants to sign moses for less than 10 or they will sign him for free next summer with the compersation fee.
Yes, Victor Moses is worth more than 9 million pounds. This fact is undisputed, but how quality is he to match into chelsea’s first team? We have players that can play better in his position. I think chelsea should just forget him and concentrate on bringing in right-back and forward. These are the two positions that need to be occupied at the momment.
Pay the 8m Wigaan want or shove off
Plz.cfc go gt moses,b4 its 2 late, finaliz evryting abt him b4 or afta 2dy game,wit victor, apz & hulk, he wort mor dm 9m,he cn hold bal,charg&mount presur on atack 4 goal, cos tores is nt a dpendbl accet,moses ll b of gud help 2 him
Moses is a proven epl performer so what are we chelseafc waiting for, chelsea should forget about hulk, cavani and falcao their too expensive, chelsea should sign players like fernando lloriente the guy can use his head very well since we have good wingers, we should also go for eden nzeko a proven goal scorer both in epl, robert lawandoski and seydou doumbia these are proven stars
Some people dnt knw anythng abt footbll, how can u say dat moses z nt needed in chelsea squads, well moses z a good winger n we need him n azpiliceutar.
plz plz plz we don,t need all this cock and bull stories, better you talk to bring Cavani to take the position of Drogba before the transfer window will close, Moses play well but he can not fill the gap Drogba created,we need Cavani or hot striker who can lead us to glory, plz stop Gambling with our feelings, give us what we need to be happy ,cheer up Chelsea fans
I like the way will play today,but will need moses badly,he is very good on the wings,is a very good player and he show class today, up bluessssssss.
Among all chelsea transfer signings and targets, the only one dat appeals to me is Moses, i wonder y chelsea delays in signing him, dfspite the fact that they undervaluated him they still delay. Pls Ambramovic, we want ur intervesion. Because delay is dangerous .
10m 4 moses is better off 32m demand 4 Hulk. I prefer moses 4 chealsea, is a good compliment for torres!
Bring in moses or i quit Chelsea.
moses is a good player,he proved dt @DW stadium today,pls go 4 moses,hulk n azplicueta.wt all dis playaz I think chelsea fc would b able to compete wt d other big clubs.KTBFFH!

Chelsea shuld sign carvani not moses
in my own opinion moses can b used has a back up strike n we n i say we nt relay on torres 4 crying out loud he wz a good strike before……so we nid to buy a world class strike before the window close like mayb cavani o falcao
the issue of moses lies on his club bcos is stil useful to them under the conditn of d curent contract, so chlsa shld luk for alternative and fil d gap of drogba.
Wat are u waiting 4,chelsea, moses value more than £10m.. Quickly go and get him. Leave the hulk go 4 Cavani or facao.
There is no need 4 chelsea to waste time on this matter go and get moses now with a little top on the ten million pounds and also top a little to get Hulk before the transfer window close.
