Victor Moses signs new Chelsea deal, till 2021

Victor Moses has today signed a new contract with the Blues.

The 26-year-old has established himself as a regular in the side this season, playing an integral role in Chelsea’s pursuit of
silverware under Antonio Conte.

Upon signing the two-year extension to his deal, which
 will now run until 2021, Moses said: ‘I feel very excited.
 I’m delighted to be here for another few years now and to 
sign a new deal.

Now it’s time to concentrate on the team and keep 
working hard to make sure we win games and try to win
 the Premier League this season.

‘We’re having a great season, I’m enjoying my football and
 we have a good manager here that has given every single 
one of us confidence. I just want to keep on enjoying it and working hard for the team.’

Technical director Michael Emenalo added: ‘We are extremely
pleased Victor has chosen to extend his contract with us. He
is enjoying an excellent season and, under Antonio’s
leadership, has proved to be an important member of the
squad.

‘This new contract is testament to Victor’s hard work 
and dedication to succeed at Chelsea and we believe he 
will be a big part of our future success.’

A Nigerian international, Moses has produced incredible
consistency in his performances, starting every Premier League game since 1 October when he was named in
 the line-up away at Hull City.

It was in that fixture that Conte switched to a 3-4-3 formation
for the first time and Moses, deployed in an unfamiliar right
wing-back role, impressed in a 2-0 victory. Since then, he has
gone from strength to strength, growing in stature with every
game and thriving under Conte’s guidance.

The combination of his natural attacking instincts, and
 ability to defend intelligently when the opposition are in possession, ensure Moses is ideally suited to the way in
 which Conte wants his team to play. He has become a valuable member of the side as well as a popular figure among supporters, scoring four goals so far this season, including a winner at home to Tottenham in November.

Moses arrived at Chelsea in 2012 from Wigan Athletic and
enjoyed a solid first season at the club, helping us lift the
Europa League trophy.

After spending time out on loan, he caught Conte’s eye
 during pre-season due to his technique, physical strength
 and high energy levels, and the Italian made the decision to keep him at Stamford Bridge for the 2016/17 campaign.

In total, Moses has made 72 appearances for the Blues, 28

coming so far this season, scoring 14 goals.
