Luton Town have announced the signing of former Chelsea wing-back and Nigerian international Victor Moses.

The 33-year-old has joined the Hatters on a free transfer, following his release by Russian side Spartak Moscow in May.

Moses has signed a deal of undisclosed length at Kenilworth Road, with the deal allowed due to Moses being a free agent before the closure of the transfer window on August 30th.

The deal will see Moses return to English football for the first time since 2019, having spent the final years of his time at Chelsea on loan with Turkish outfit Fenerbahce, Italian giants Inter Milan and in Moscow, first joining Spartak on loan before making the move permanent in 2021.

Moses began his career with Crystal Palace, becoming a regular with the Eagles before joining Wigan Athletic in 2010. After an acclaimed period at Wigan, he made a move to Chelsea in 2012.

In all, Moses made 128 appearances in 9 years contracted to Chelsea, with his most prolific spell being during Antonio Conte’s time at the club, where he was a regular in Chelsea’s 2016/17 Premier League title-winning side. Moses also won Europa League and FA Cup titles at Stamford Bridge.

His time at Chelsea also saw him spend time out on loan, with the player making loan moves to Liverpool, Stoke and West Ham in the 2013/14, 2014/15 and 2015/16 campaigns respectively.

After the departure of Antonio Conte in 2017, Moses fell from favour in West London after spells in Istanbul and Milan, reuniting with Conte at the San Siro, he made first a loan and then full transfer to Moscow.

Moses told Luton’s in-house TV station LTFC+ that he was delighted to make the move to Bedfordshire and help his new employers, who are still chasing their first win of the season.

He said, “I’m looking forward to it. I had a few offers from Europe, but I said to my agent that I set my mind on staying over here, and here we are. I’m very pleased and honoured to be at this club and I just can’t wait to get going.

“I spoke to Rob before I came, I spoke to the directors and they told me the plan and the history of the club, and I just want to be part of the success.

“I want to come here and enjoy my football, work hard for the club and for the team, and get back to where we belong in the Premier League.”
