Chelsea hope a bid of £10 million will be enough to land Wigan Athletic attacker Victor Moses.
The Mirror says Chelsea's offer is expected to be a guaranteed £7million-plus with some extras to take the sum for the young Nigerian attacker up to £10m.
Wigan will insist on a big sum up front as Moses' old club Crystal Palace are due around 20 per cent of the profit - and also want the money badly for their own re-building.
Moses wants to go to a top club and the chance of competing for a start at Chelsea appeals to him. Liverpool have been linked but are yet to make an official move.
