LONDON (AFP) – Roberto Di Matteo has
revealed Chelsea are in talks with Wigan in
a bid to sign Nigeria forward Victor Moses.
Wigan chairman Dave Whelan claimed
earlier this week that he had rejected a bid
from Chelsea for Moses because it failed to
match £10 million (12.7-million-euro, $15.6-
million) valuation of the 21-year-old.
And Blues manager Di Matteo has now
confirmed the European champions are
keen to complete a deal for the highly-rated
former Crystal Palace player, who will be
out of contract at the end of this coming
season.
Di Matteo, currently in the United States
with Chelsea for their pre-season tour, told
skysports.com: "It's something that the
clubs are discussing but at the moment he
is a Wigan player.
"He had a good season last season, he is
young and an interesting prospect."
Di Matteo also wants to speak to French
winger Florent Malouda over his future this
week.
The 32-year-old is entering the final year of
his contract with Chelsea and had been
linked with a move to Brazilian club Santos
but that deal has reportedly fallen through.
"Florent is back with us now and I will have
a talk with him this week," Di Matteo said.
"We cannot name more than 25 players in
the squad so we will have to make some
decisions.
"Pre-season gives me a great opportunity
to look at the new players and see how
they develop. The final decision on who will
go and who will stay will be made at the
beginning of August."
