Wigan Athletic accept Chelsea's bid for Victor Moses

Wigan have accepted a bid from Chelsea for Victor Moses. The Latics have confirmed that the Stamford Bridge club's fifth offer has met their valuation and they have given the forward permission to talk to Chelsea.

A statement on Wigan's official website read: "The club can confirm that after four unsuccessful bids from Chelsea for Victor Moses, a fifth bid has today finally met the valuation and terms set by Wigan Athletic and been accepted.

"The player has been given permission to speak with Chelsea."

The fee for the former Crystal Palace player is believed to be in the region of £9 million.

Chelsea have already signed Eden Hazard, Oscar and Marko Marin this summer and, if they succeed in their pursuit of Moses, it will leave Robert Di Matteo with an abundance of attacking options.
