Victor Moses is confident of making an impact for Chelsea and hopes to garner more trophies for the English Premier League side.
Moses completed his move from Wigan Athletic last Friday, ending one of the summer's most protracted transfers. The Nigerian international is the latest addition to Chelsea's ever-growing young brigade, and could be in line for action in the UEFA Super Cup against Atletico Madrid Friday.
"When I first heard that Chelsea had come in for me I was surprised, but I had a call from my agent saying they were really interested in me and what did I think," Moses told the club's official website. "I said they are the European champions and anyone would like to play there and now that everything is sorted, I am delighted to be here.
"I am happy to come back to London as I grew up here and it is a great honor to play for the club that won the Champions League."
Moses joins an already bulging squad of attacking players, but is confident he can make an impact at Stamford Bridge. "There are a lot of world-class players here and I am here to do my best for the team and to help them win more trophies," the Nigerian international said.
"The club has done well for the past few years, they have achieved a lot, and for me to be able to play with these world-class players, I am delighted to be here."
The tricky winger, who joined Wigan from Crystal Palace in 2010, believes his versatility can come in handy for his club, adding he was ready to play anywhere the manager wanted him to. "Growing up I used to play centre-back in a Sunday league team but I had the feeling I could play further forward," Moses revealed. When I was scouted by Crystal Palace I started playing in center-midfield.
"Then I ended up playing as a striker, left wing, on the right -- everywhere really. I went to Wigan to play left wing mainly but then the manager saw the way I was playing and he mostly used me on the right. Last season I played more on the right but sometimes on the left.
"I can also play up front or behind the striker, I can play anywhere up front. I'm comfortable wherever the manager wants to play me."
Moses said he was already familiar with a few players in the squad and sent a message to the Chelsea faithful. "I used to play with Ryan Bertrand and Daniel Sturridge for England under-19s, under-20s, under 21s. I know Ashley Cole and Michael Essien and Mikel I know from playing for Nigeria. It is good to see everyone here and it is a lot easier for me," he said, while adding, "I just want to say to the fans to sit tight, there is more to come from Victor Moses and I hope to do my best for the club and that there are more trophies to come in the future."
