Chelsea’s Victor Moses retires from international football

Victor Moses has confirmed his retirement from international football, as he looks to focus on his club career at the age of just 27.

Writing on his official Instagram page, Moses confirmed that he is calling it a day with Nigeria.

Moses made 38 appearances for his country and helped them win the African Cup of Nations back in 2013.

The versatile wide man was heavily linked with a move away from the club this summer, with Premier League new boys Wolves particularly interested in signing the player.

Antonio Conte’s departure raised questions about where the player would fit into Maurizio Sarri’s plans.

Under Chelsea’s previous head coach, he had been used in a wing-back role, with no natural place for him in Sarri’s 4-3-3 system.

Moses featured in a more advanced role during pre-season but is likely to fall further down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge throughout the new campaign.
