Chelsea cult hero Victor Moses has made a return to English football after signing for Championship club Luton Town.
Moses makes his return to English football as a free agent after a nomadic career that has included spells in the Premier League, Turkey, Italy and Russia.
A product of the Crystal Palace academy, the winger impressed with the Eagles and Wigan Athletic to earn a transfer to Chelsea in 2012. Moses initially struggled to make an impression in West London and spent time on loan at Liverpool, Stoke and West Ham, before a surprise emergence as a key figure under Antonio Conte.
He made 34 league appearances and scored three goals from wing-back as the Blues won the Premier League title in 2016/17.
After spells at Fenerbahce, Inter Milan – where he reunited with Conte – and Spartak Moscow, he said he is looking forward to the challenge of helping Luton bounce back from relegation last season.
“I’m very excited and I can’t wait to get started,” Moses told the club’s official website.
“I’m looking forward to it, it’s a pleasure to be here. It’s a good time for me to be in the country and start to enjoy my football again.
“After Luton were in the Premier League last season, and coming back down to the Championship, the main objective now it to try and help the club go back up to the Premier League again.
“I thought Luton did well last season, and were just a bit unlucky sometimes. With most of the boys that were playing, it might have been their first time playing in the Premier League, but it was a good experience for the boys.
“But you know what, football is like this sometimes. They were just a little bit unlucky not to stay up last season.
“I thought the boys did fantastically well, but this season’s target now is to focus more on the game on Saturday coming up, and just taking each game as it comes and try to get back up into the Premier League.”
