VICTOR MOSES has been rewarded for finally establishing himself at Chelsea by a new two-year contract extension.

Moses had endured a frustrating time at Stamford Bridge after being shipped out for loan spells at Liverpool, Stoke and West Ham after his £9million move from Wigan.




But he has been the surprise package of the season under Antonio Conte, making himself a regular start with his impressive displays at right wing-back.

And Conte told the club he wanted the Nigerian international tied down to an extended contract, with his previous deal due to run out in two years.
