Victor Moses happy with support for BBC award

Victor Moses

Super Eagles midfielder, Victor Moses, has thanked his fans, teammates and friends for their support as he aims to win the BBC African Footballer of the Year award.

Moses, 26, currently recuperating from an injury was nominated alongside Liverpool pair, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, Borussia Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Naby Keita of RB Leipzig.

The Chelsea star took to Twitter to applaud everyone who has taken out time to vote for him.

After so many years on the Blues sidelines, Moses finally established himself at Stamford Bridge – and the wait was worth it as he ended the season as a regular starter, a Premier League champion and with an FA Cup runners-up medal.

Moses was reborn under coach Antonio Conte, who spotted qualities that previous Chelsea managers hadn’t, as he converted into a right wing-back with natural attacking instincts and defensive diligence. He also helped Nigeria qualify for Russia 2018.

The winner of this year’s award will be announced on Monday 11 December.
