Chelsea midfielder, Victor Moses, has officially retired from international football at the age of 27.

Moses took to social media on Wednesday to make public his decision.

The ex-Crystal Palace star thanked the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), his teammates and the Nigerian people for believing in him.

After representing England at various youth levels, Moses switched allegiance to the Super Eagles in 2012.

One year later, he was African champion in South Africa and the year that followed he featured at the World Cup in Brazil.

Moses didn’t play at another Africa Cup of Nations, though, but featured at the global stage again in Russia last summer.

Overall, he garnered 37 caps with 12 goals.

The attention of the midfielder will now be firmly at Chelsea where he is struggling for game time under new boss, Maurizio Sarri.
