Chelsea yet to match
Wigan's valuation of Victor Moses reveals Roberto Martinez
The Blues have been heavily linked with a move for Moses
throughout the summer but have so far failed to make an offer in line with Wigan 's
asking price, believed to be in the region of £9million, with only a few days
left in the transfer window.
The 21-year-old Nigeria
international put in an impressive performance against Chelsea
in the London outfit's 2-0 Barclays
Premier League victory at the DW Stadium on Sunday.
But speaking this morning at a press conference to preview
his side's trip to Southampton on Saturday, Martinez
said nothing had changed with regard to the matter.
Asked if there had been any further developments on the
Moses front, the Spaniard said "not at all", and pressed as to
whether or not he had heard anything from Chelsea ,
Martinez replied: "No. You are
asking the wrong man, in that respect."
The Latics boss stressed that until an acceptable bid was
made, all speculation on the subject was simply "cheap talk".
He said: "You will get all sorts of speculation and
talk, but the reality is, every player has a valuation. If a club matches that
valuation, then maybe you have to sit down with the player and there is a
decision to be made.
"Here, for all the talk and speculation, we have never
had an offer which matches what the club wants - so at that point, all the rest
is cheap talk.
"Victor is an incredible young man and I think the
maturity he showed on Sunday is not normal in a 21-year-old.
"It has been a real joy to see him grow over the last
few seasons. We made a massive investment in him as a young man and we are very
proud of him.
"If there is nothing to consider, it is not an
issue."
Moses joined Wigan from Crystal
Palace on a three-and-a-half-year
deal midway through the 2009-10 season for a reported fee of £2.5million.
