Di Matteo admits Moses talks

Roberto Di Matteo says Chelsea are in discussions with Wigan over wantaway forward Victor Moses, but a deal is yet to be struck.

Latics chairman Dave Whelan claimed on Wednesday the club had rejected a third bid from the Blues, thought to be worth £5million, because it again failed to match their valuation of the youngster.

Moses has one year left on his contract and is yet to sign a new deal at the DW Stadium, but Whelan has urged him to stay with Wigan and continue his development.

Di Matteo, currently in the United States with Chelsea for their pre-season tour, has confirmed his interest in the 21-year-old but insists he remains a Latics player for now.

The manager said: "(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."
