Liverpool Transfer News: Victor Moses Joins On Loan From Chelsea

By Diarmuid Hickey /

according to reports The 22-year-old former Wigan Athletic winger/forward becomes Liverpool's third transfer deadline day signing, after the Merseysiders confirmed the £25 million capture of central defenders Mamadou Sakho and Tiago Ilori earlier today. Moses was quoted as saying;

First and foremost, I'm delighted to have made the loan from Chelsea to a big club like Liverpool. "The manager has done very well. There are a lot of quality players here - they're winning games and creating chances. It's a massive thing for me to be here
He went on to say;
The target is to get into the top four and for the club to compete in the Champions League. I just want to gel in, the formation and players here will help me
Moses scored only a solitary goal in 23 appearances for the Stamford Bridge outfit following his £9 million move to Chelsea from Wigan last year. He has yet to play this year, as Chelsea have signed a glut of midfielders this term, including Van Ginkel, Schurrle, and De Bruyne, which may have initiated the move. Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has also allowed Italian forward Fabio Borini to join Sunderland on loan for the season, with the Moses capture perhaps a direct replacement. Borini is currently undergoing a medical at Sunderland and that deal is expected to be complete before the transfer window shuts at 11pm tonight (Monday).
