Versatile Nigerian winger who won the Champions League with Chelsea and gave outstanding service to Nigeria across multiple tournaments.
Victor Moses was born in Lagos, Nigeria on 12 December 1990. Raised in London from the age of 11 after his family fled religious violence in Nigeria, Moses developed through the Crystal Palace and Wigan Athletic academies before Chelsea signed him in 2012. His career at Stamford Bridge was sporadic until Antonio Conte reinvented him as a wing-back in 2016-17, a role in which he excelled as Chelsea won the Premier League. He won the Champions League with Chelsea in 2012 as a squad player. He later had loan spells at Liverpool, Stoke, West Ham and Fenerbahçe before permanently joining Inter Milan (2019), where he won Serie A in 2021, and then Spartak Moscow and Al Mosaimar. For Nigeria he earned 37 caps and scored 12 goals, appearing at the 2014 World Cup and winning the Africa Cup of Nations in 2013.
