Inter
Milan have completed the signing of ex-Nigeria international Victor Moses on
loan from Chelsea with an option to make the deal permanent.
Moses,
29, had his contract terminated by Turkish Super Lig outfit Fenerbahce before
joining the San Siro outfit.
He
becomes the eighth Nigerian to feature for the club after Taribo West, Nwankwo
Kanu, Obafemi Martins, Victor Nsofor, Isah Eliakwu, Nwankwo Obiorah and Joel
Obi.
This move will
see him link up again with former Blues manager Antonio Conte. The former Wigan
man played in the Italian’s Premier League triumph with the Blues in 2016-17.
"Having
the opportunity to work with the coach again is something I’m really happy
about,” the Nigerian commented on his reunion with Conte.
"I’ve
spoken to him and he’s already explained the club’s project to me. I want to be
part of it, I’m happy to be here.
"I’ll
give my all and want to help the team. There’s a lot of quality here, I want to
make my contribution out on the pitch and enjoy myself. That's the most
important thing."
On the city of
Milan, he said: "It seems like a nice city, I’ve liked what I’ve seen up
to now. I think I’ll enjoy it here and we’ll have a great future together. I
have positive feelings.
"I’m going
to need time to find my feet but I want to help the team win as many games as
possible. We’ll do all that we can to achieve our objectives and make our fans
proud."
Moses will be
hoping to help Inter Milan beat arch-rivals Juventus to the Serie A title. The
Black and Blues are currently second in the Italian topflight, trailing the
Oliseh by two points.
He
is expected to feature in the club’s Europa League title charge. Conte’s team
face Bulgaria’s Ludogorets in the knockout round in February.
