Victor Moses could still return to Stoke as Mark Hughes remains hopeful of signing Chelsea winger

Victor Moses remains a transfer target for Stoke with Potters boss Mark Hughes saying he is still keen to sign the Nigerian winger, who was on loan from Chelsea this term, on a full contract.

 

Moses was surplus to Jose Mourinho's requirements and sent to the Britannia after a previous loan to Liverpool. 

And he impressed Hughes so much that he wants the winger on his books long-term.

Moses enjoyed regular first team football until a hamstring injury prematurely ended his season
Moses, whose current Chelsea contract expires at the end of the month, enjoyed regular first-team action under Hughes and his form led Mourinho to attempt to get him back for the second half of their successful title charge in January.

 

A hamstring injury ended the 24-year-old's season early after he played 19 Premier League matches but he was at the Britannia to watch Stoke batter Liverpool 6-1 in the final game of the season and give Liverpool a nightmare farewell from the Premier League. 

'It was good to see Victor back at the ground for the final game of the season,' Hughes told the Stoke Sentinel.

'I thought it was important he came, along with Bojan (Krkic), because they have obviously played their part in our season as well as those on show for the last game.

'He's (Moses) back at Chelsea now, but hopefully we can still do something. We'll have to see.'
