The complete guide to Victor Moses

CHELSEA forward Victor Moses joined Liverpool on a season-long loan Tuesday - and here Liverpool brings you our handy guide to everything regarding our new recruit – from social media to statistics to his career scrapbook.

Wiki says...
Victor Moses can play in a variety of positions, but in the first-team games he has taken part in so far, he has mostly played as a winger. Born in Nigeria, he has represented England at U16, U17, U19 and U21 levels, but opted to play for the Nigerian national team as opposed to being fully capped for England.

In his scrapbook...
Moses scooped the first silverware of his professional career in 2013 when Rafael Benitez's Chelsea edged Benfica in the Europa League final in Amsterdam. Moses also won the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year with Nigeria.

The social media...
The Reds' new signing is officially on Twitter, where more than 400,000 people are following @VictorMoses. Despite accruing such a large following, the Nigerian international has only tweeted 311 times. Expect his followers to grow significantly following today's announcement...


The numbers game...
Moses has scored 30 goals in 192 games for Crystal Palace, Wigan and Chelsea since making his professional debut in 2007.

What they say...
After bringing the striker to Chelsea, Roberto Di Matteo said: "He's strong at holding the ball, his dribbling ability is very good, he can go past defenders, which not many can, and he's got the pace as well. He's very good at making runs in behind, he's a very good player."

Did you know?
In the month Kopites around the world were celebrating Liverpool winning their fifth European Cup in Istanbul, Moses was busy firing Whitgift School to glory in the U14s FA Youth Cup. If five was the magic number for Reds fans, it was the same for Moses, as he netted all five of his side's goals in their 5-0 cup final victory over Grimsby.
