Lampard wants Victor Moses out of Chelsea

Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard has told former Super Eagles forward, Victor Moses that he hopes he finds another club before the close of the transfer window as he (Moses) does not feature as part of his plans for the upcoming premier league season.

This follows the completion of Moses' loan spell with Italian giants, Inter Milan where he gave a good account of himself.

Moses was an instrumental member of Conte's 2017 champion side and 2018 FA Cup-winning team, however, he dropped down the pecking order fellow Italian manager Mauricio Sarri took charge.

Moses has not fared any better under Lampard, either. The English manager allowed the Nigerian to join Fenerbahce at the start of last season and gave his nod when the former Wigan ace switched to Inter Milan in January to reunite with Conte, Soccernet.ng said.

The former Super Eagles star helped the Serie A side reached the final of the Europa League and returned to West London this month at the expiration of his loan deal.

It has not been the best of a homecoming for Moses as he is yet to make a matchday squad since the start of the campaign.

Ahead of Tuesday’s League Cup fixture against Tottenham Hotspur, Lampard confirmed the 29-year-old is not training with the first-team but hopes his future can be sorted out soon.

“At the moment, Victor (Moses) isn’t in that position with us. We have a bubble at the training ground with the first-team squad, which Victor hasn’t been part of,” Lampard said in a press conference.

“I know Victor well, and we will see how that develops over the next week,” he added.

Moses’ last competitive outing with the Blues dates back to a Europa League game against BATE in October 2018, although he recently featured in a behind-closed-door game for Chelsea earlier this month.
