Victor Moses has been linked with Premier League strugglers Crystal Palace and Cardiff City, with his Chelsea future uncertain.

Neil Warnock has been left frustrated after missing out on Nathaniel Clyne, the England international sealing a loan move from Liverpool to Bournemouth last week.

But, according to Wales Online, the Cardiff City boss has an alternative in mind. And, like Clyne, he is a proven, experienced Premier League player who has fallen out of favour in recent months.

Victor Moses has played just 26 minutes of Premier League football since Maurizio Sarri replaced Antonio Conte as the manager of Chelsea and Wales Online reports that he has emerged as an ambitious January target for survival hopefuls Cardiff.

Warnock wants to add a right-wing back to his squad and Nigeria captain Moses, who thrived in that role as Chelsea won the Premier League in 2016/17, would fit the bill.

Interestingly, the 70-year-old tactician worked with Moses during his formative years at Crystal Palace, too, before he moved to Wigan Athletic in 2010.

The Bluebirds are expected to face competition for the former Liverpool and Stoke City loanee, who is understood to be valued by Chelsea at a minimum of £12 million.

The Sun (23 December, page 61) reported that Crystal Palace want to bring Moses back to Selhurst Park while Fulham thought his £130,000 a week wages could cause problems.
