Former Chelsea & Liverpool star makes shock return to English football after 6 years away

Victor Moses has made a shock return to English football, signing for Championship side Luton Town on a free transfer.

Moses — who has also turned out for the likes of Wigan, Stoke, West Ham and Crystal Palace in England — spent the 2013/14 campaign on loan at Liverpool, playing 22 times across all competitions and helping the Reds finish second in the Premier League.

After falling down the pecking order at Chelsea, Moses embarked on a series of loans to Fenerbahce, Inter and Spartak Moscow, finally settling at the latter on a permanent basis in 2021 until his contract expired over the summer.

“He gives us more strength in depth and versatility, because he’s someone who can play both sides or as a number ten.

“He’s played for so many different clubs in different ways and shapes, and under different managers, so he’s tactically aware. We think he’s someone who…
