Mark Hughes keen to complete Victor Moses deal

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has insisted that recent injuries will not stop him from signing Victor Moses in the summer.

Moses joined the Potters on loan from Chelsea in August and quickly became a key player for Hughes, and despite suffering another hamstring problem at the weekend, the Stoke boss is keen to secure a permanent deal for the 24-year-old.

"Because he is an explosive player, the hamstring is always a danger and so he will always be a bit susceptible to those kind of injuries," Hughes is quoted as saying by The Express. "But that won't affect my thinking on other decisions we make with Victor.

"He has done well for us this season, but he is a Chelsea player and so they decide on the timing of talks.

"We will get him back fit and well. He did have a problem with his thigh and they are a notorious injury, but he's had no re-occurrence of that."

Moses has played 19 times in the Premier League this season, scoring three times.
