Nigerian international, Victor Moses, and 11 others are facing sack from Stamford Bridge as Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho, is ready to conduct a major squad clear-out this summer as he seeks to make way for prominent additions in the upcoming transfer window.
In a bid to heed UEFA’s Financial Fair Play guidelines and to rein in Chelsea’s ever expanding wage bill, Mourinho will seek to cut back numbers in his playing staff and will hope to garner decent sums for a number of those he is looking cash-in on.
The Nigerian winger is considered surplus to requirements and Chelsea would have hoped that his loan spell at Liverpool would help to attract interest from prospective suitors but the 23-year-old simply hasn’t done enough to warrant a regular spot in Brendan Rodgers’ plans.
This will leave Mourinho ready to offload the former Wigan Athletic man for a fairly low fee, in the hope that a buyer can be found.
Moses has started just six Premier League games during his season long loan spell at Anfield and his tally of just one goal and zero assists in 16 appearances across all competitions probably tells its own story.
Other players facing the axe are Fernando Torres, Thibaut Courtois, Romelu Lukaku, Marko Marin, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole, Demba Ba, Ryan Bertrand, Gael Kakuta, Samuel Eto’o and goalkeeper Hilario.
