Luton Town sign former Nigerian international, Victor Moses

Luton Town have signed former Chelsea wing-back Victor Moses.

The 33-year-old ex-Nigeria international joins the Championship club as a free agent, having left Russian side Spartak Moscow earlier in the summer.

He spent almost four years with Spartak, having initially joined them on loan from Chelsea in 2020.

Moses, who started his professional career with Crystal Palace before moving on to Wigan Athletic when they were in the Premier League in 2010, featured for Luton in a match behind closed doors last week.

“We think he’s someone who can provide some really good competition for us,” Luton boss Rob Edwards told the club website.

Luton have only managed one point from four Championship games this season following relegation from the Premier League in May.

They are away to Millwall on Saturday in their first game since the international break.

Details of the length of Moses’ contract have not been disclosed.

“He’s played for so many different clubs in different ways and shapes, and under different managers, so he’s tactically aware.”

Moses won the Premier League, Europa League and FA Cup while with Chelsea, but his nine years on the books at Stamford Bridge was broken up by numerous loan stints, which included spells at Liverpool, West Ham, Fenerbahce in Turkey and Inter Milan in Italy.

“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,” Moses said.

“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.”

Moses joins a Luton side that are second from bottom in the Championship and without a win since being relegated from the Premier League last season.
