World Cup 2018: 5 Chelsea stars expected to light up the World Cup

#3 Victor Moses (Nigeria)

Moses (lft0 will be key for Nigeria's attack

Moses may not be one of the most important players in an attacking sense for Chelsea but for the Super Eagles, he is an absolutely crucial element of the attacking play.

Nominally a wingback in manager Conte’s preferred 3-4-3 formation, the former Wigan star is the preferred right winger for Nigeria’s manager Gernot Rohr and is expected to be the senior player driving the Eagles forward at the World Cup.

Nigeria no longer has the flair players of old, so stylish football has been replaced by solidity as it is expected that the team will make itself compact and hard to beat at the World Cup while looking to use the pace of Moses to counter-attack teams.

His direct style of play, pace, ability to surge into the opposition box and crossing mean that the Nigerian team will be relying on Moses to provide a cutting edge as the face up against more technically accomplished teams in Croatia and Argentina in Group D at the World Cup.
