Chelsea Boss Conte Tells Nigeria’s Victor Moses To Shun Barcelona Move! (Read What He Said)
Chelsea boss, Antonio Conte, has told Nigeria forward, Victor Moses to shun reports linking him with a move to Spanish giants, Barcelona.
He told Moses to focus on his football with Chelsea after being scouted by Barcelona since his move to right wing-back.
The Nigerian winger has been in a great form for the London outfit this season after the Italian switched to a 3-4-3 formation, but that has prompted rival clubs to show an interest in his services.
Conte wouldn’t be drawn on whether Chelsea would be ready to offer Moses a new deal to ward off interest, but he was emphatic about his desire for his players not to lose focus during their impressive six-match winning run.
“For everything [regarding contracts], there is the right time to speak,” Conte told a press conference at Cobham Training Centre. “About Victor, I repeat, it’s important to be focused on the present. It’s important to be focused game by game.
“Now we are doing very well. But, for me, I don’t want to think that my players see ‘so long’ (into the future). I like to think my players are focused on the present, not the future so long-term.
“We have just started in this league and, after a period, two bad defeats, we won six games in a row. This is important, now, to continue this. To be focused to work for the present. Not to look at the future.”
