Wigan Athletic accept Chelsea bid for Victor Moses

Wigan Athletic have confirmed that they have accepted a fifth bid from Chelsea for winger Victor Moses.

The previous offer from the European champions for the Nigerian international was thought to be around £9m.

"The club can confirm that after four unsuccessful bids from Chelsea for Victor Moses, a fifth bid has today finally met the valuation and terms set by Wigan Athletic and been accepted," read a Wigan statement.

"The player has been given permission to speak with Chelsea."

Moses, who joined Wigan from Crystal Palace in 2010, has one year left on his contract at the DW Stadium.
