2019 January Transfer Window Review: 5 Premier League transfers that went under the radar

#2 Victor Moses to Fenerbahçe (Loan)

Moses completed a temporary switch to Turkey

An important cog in Chelsea’s title-winning side only a couple of years ago, life has come a full circle for Victor Moses.

The 28-year-old Nigerian started out as an impressive young winger at Wigan, where his performances made the big boys take notice. In the end, Chelsea won his signature in the summer of 2012.

After some mediocre showings, Moses was loaned to the likes of Liverpool, Stoke City and West Ham but none of the moves proved to be beneficial.

It was only after the arrival of Antonio Conte and an early 3-0 hammering by Arsenal in the Premier League that Moses got his chance. After the debacle at the Emirates, Conte switched to a back five, thus, the Nigerian got a new lease of life playing at right wingback.

Moses played an important role as Chelsea cantered to the title after an early blip. After a good couple of seasons, Maurizio Sarri’s arrival this summer has again pushed the Nigerian down the pecking order.

Moses’ sub-standard attacking output combined with an inadequate defensive skill means that he can neither play as the first-choice winger nor as a right back in Sarri’s four-man defensive system.

Owing to a lack of game time, the 28-year-old decided to make a temporary switch to Turkey, joining Fenerbahçe in the process.
