Chelsea’s Victor Moses is seemingly eyeing up a move in January.

With Maurizio Sarri switching to a four-man defence, Cesar Azpilicueta has moved back out to playing at right back – and that has left Victor Moses with a diminished role.

Moses, 27, joined Chelsea from Wigan Athletic in 2012, and whilst he hit 10 goals in 43 games in his first season, he was then loaned out to Liverpool, Stoke City and Aston Villa as he found playing time hard to come by.

After failing to really impress for West Ham, many expected him to leave Chelsea in 2016, but Antonio Conte remarkably handed him a chance to shine as a wing back – and the Nigerian international went on to help the Blues win the Premier League title with a superb campaign.

Moses remained a regular under Conte last season, playing 28 of their 38 Premier League games, but has now been cast aside by Sarri, who has switched from the 3-4-2-1 system under Conte to his usual 4-3-3 setup.

Moses has made just one start this season, and that came in the Carabao Cup against Liverpool, with just 42 minutes played in every other competition, with only two Premier League substitute appearances to his name.

Goal now report that Moses wants to leave Chelsea in January in order to play first-team football, and Ladbrokes have begun pricing up odds for his next club, as seen below…

10 most likely clubs to sign Victor Moses

Man United – 3/1

Crystal Palace – 10/3

Everton – 9/2

Wolves – 5/1

Leicester – 6/1

Watford – 7/1

Arsenal – 8/1

Liverpool – 10/1

Aston Villa – 12/1

Wigan – 25/1

Former club Palace are understandably one of the favourites, but Everton and Wolves are somewhat surprising, especially the latter, as he would surely play as a right-wing back at Wolves, where Matt Doherty has starred this season.

At Everton, he would possibly offer cover for Seamus Coleman and Theo Walcott at right back and on the right wing, but that wouldn’t give him first-team football either, so whilst Everton and Wolves are among the favourites, either signing Moses would be a shock in January.
