Jose Mourinho has revealed that forgotten man Victor Moses is a part of his plans for the coming season, having shown vast signs of improvement since returning from his loan spell at Stoke.
Moses was signed from Wigan in 2012, but after a reasonably decent debut season at the Bridge, he was then surprisingly loaned out for two seasons in succession; first to Liverpool, then to Stoke.
Considering the ignominy of being loaned to Stoke after such a big move, it was presumed that that was the end of Moses’ Chelsea career.
But Mourinho believes that the now experienced Moses has what it takes to cut it in the Premier League elite, and is ready to resurrect his Chelsea career at the age of 24.
With Juan Cuadrado having proven a flop since his big money move from Fiorentina last January, it seems as though Mourinho would rather trust a tried and tested Premier League player than an unknown quantity like Cuadrado.
Mourinho told the press after the friendly defeat to New York Red Bulls.
“I see him fitting in. He’s strong, he’s experienced, he knows the Premier League well, he’s fast, he’s aggressive.
“Okay, he has to play with us. But I’m happy with his week, with his 45 minutes and the next match (against Paris Saint Germain) he will have 45 more minutes. But Victor has had an evolution in the last couple of years.”
