EPL 2016/17: 7 African players who are shining in the Premier League this season

L to R: Kelechi Iheanacho, Odion Ighalo and Alex Iwobi

#5 Victor Moses - Nigeria & Chelsea

Victor Moses

After failed loan spells at Liverpool, Stoke City and West Ham, it looked like Victor Moses had no future at Chelsea. After all, he was competing for places with the likes of Eden Hazard, Pedro, Willian and Oscar. However, a change in Chelsea’s formation also meant a change in fortunes for the forgotten man Victor Moses.

Moses is now part of Antonio Conte's starting XI and has made the right wing back role his. His pace and relentless running makes him a perfect fit for the role. His experience playing as a winger helps him to aid the attackers and his work rate more than compensates for his lack of defensive abilities.

In just 8 starts for Chelsea so far, he has 3 goals and 1 assist to his name. Chelsea's only defeat after shifting to the 3-4-3 system was a league cup game against West Ham and coincidentally, Moses was not part of the team.

From a squad player, Moses has now become an indispensable member of the starting XI.
