Victor Moses 'set for Chelsea return'

Victor Moses will return to Chelsea next summer, with Fenerbahce 'highly unlikely' to sign him on a permanent deal, according to a report.

Victor Moses will reportedly return to Chelsea next summer, with Fenerbahce 'highly unlikely' to sign the versatile attacker on a permanent deal at the end of the season.

The 28-year-old joined Fenerbahce on an 18-month loan deal in January having been deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.

Moses has scored five times in 17 appearances for the Turkish giants, who have the option to sign the Nigeria international on a permanent deal ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

However, according to the Daily Star, Fenerbahce are reluctant to meet Moses's £75,000-a-week wage demands, while the club are also not prepared to pay the transfer fee required to sign him.

The attacker has made 128 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions, including 40 outings during the 2016-17 season as the capital giants landed the Premier League title.

The former Crystal Palace youngster - out of contract in June 2021 - only made two league appearances in the first half of the 2018-19 season, though, before joining Fenerbahce on loan.
