Chelsea have finally agreed a £ 9 million fee with the Premier league club Wigan for the sale of Victor Moses. The 21-year-old the Nigeria international has been one of the promising players in the Premier league for the last six months.
Chelsea have been looking to revamp their squad in a major way after a number of the main players have passed their best. The club has spent almost £ 70 million in this transfer window bringing in six attacking players. The Nigeria international Victor Moses looks set to be the next major arrival at Stamford bridge after the club agreed a £ 9 million fee with the Latics.
Chelsea and Wigan have been constantly in negotiations over the last couple of weeks over the sale of striker. Chelsea made an initial bid of £ 3.5 million, which was immediately rejected by Wigan. Wigan were initially demanding £ 12 million for the player, but they recently dropped their valuation to £ 9 million. However, Chelsea were reluctant to increase the bid and had two more bids of £ 4 million and £ 5 million rejected as soon as they submitted. With only a few days of the transfer window remaining, the club has moved in to secure the player by agreeing a £ 9 million fee according to the official site of Wigan.
“The club can confirm that after four unsuccessful bids from Chelsea for Victor Moses, a fifth bid has finally met the valuation and terms set by Wigan Athletic and been accepted. The player has been given permission to speak with Chelsea,” said a statement on the official website. The 21-year-old will now be discussing personal terms with the European champions. He will become the seventh attacking player to arrive at the club in the summer.
