BBC Africa Award: Chelsea canvass support for Moses

Reigning Premier League champions, Chelsea, have called on its fans to vote for Super Eagles forward Victor Moses as 2017 BBC African Footballer of the Year.

Chelsea launched the campaign on their official website.

Moses will slug it out with the quartet of Mohamed Salah (Liverpool/Egypt), Naby Keita (RB Leipzig/Guinea), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Dortmund/Gabon), Sadio Mane (Liverpool/Senegal).

“Our Nigerian star’s nomination for the prestigious award, which is voted for exclusively by fans, was confirmed Saturday night. You can help Victor win by voting for him here,” the Blues wrote on their website on Monday.

Moses was extraordinary for the London club as they cruised to the league title last term.

The 26-year-old made an unbelievable 40 appearances across all competitions for Antonio Conte’s team, scoring four goals.

He was also included in the 30-man shortlist for the 2017 CAF African Player of the Year Award.

The Blues’ fans were given a link on their website which will direct them to where they can cast their vote.
