Victor Moses has played 26 minutes of Premier League football for Chelsea this season and could reportedly return to Crystal Palace.
Victor Moses started his career at Crystal Palace before leaving for Wigan Athletic in 2010. Eight years later, however, could the former Croydon native make an emotional return to Selhurst Park?
Italian website Calciomercato reckons so. It is claimed that Crystal Palace are interested in offering Moses an escape route out of his Chelsea purgatory with a move possibly on the cards in the January transfer window.
Moses was a key player at Chelsea during the two-year reign of Antonio Conte, being converted successfully into a wing-back and thriving in the Italian’s favoured 3-4-3 system.
But Maurizio Sarri has introduced an old-fashioned back four since taking over from his compatriot at Stamford Bridge, leaving the Nigeria international on the fringes of the first-team. Moses has played just 26 minutes of Premier League football this season.
Goal reported in October that the former Liverpool and West Ham loanee has grown tired with life out of the picture at Chelsea and wants to leave in the New Year in search of regular first-team football.
A return to Palace could see Moses revert to his more natural attacking role, with Aaron Wan Bissaka firmly established as Roy Hodgson’s first-choice right-back.
