Not many times has a footballer’s name often translated into his career – the God-chosen Moses spending years in the wilderness while guiding the embattled Israelites out of slavery – Victor Moses has lived that life as a footballer.
Having scored 10 goals in his first season under Roberto Di Matteo, Moses was deemed surplus to requirements and was sent packing on loan deals for the next three seasons to Liverpool, Stoke City and West Ham United. He was never considered a candidate for first team places under Rafa Benitez and Mourinho, however, Conte’s arrival and eventual selection of the 3-4-3 formation has transformed the Nigerian to become the player he is today.

The transition from a winger to the orthodox right wing-back position has been seamless for the Nigerian international and Conte deserves the credits. “I have not played there before,” Moses said, ‘I have just got to listen to what the manager asks me to do in that position, and the way he wants me to do it.”
The miracle of seeing Moses play so wonderfully as a defensive minded player has given the Chelsea faithful more hope that winning the elusive and tricky Premier League is now possible. Who ever thought the former Wigan Athletic forward would be willing to run down the flanks, tracking opposition runs with defensive tackles?
