CHELSEA IN THE US: Mourinho feels Moses has evolved

Jose Mourinho was in a positive mood towards winger Victor Moses on Wednesday.

The Nigerian international appeared in a Chelsea shirt for the first time since last pre-season when he played the opening 45 minutes of the 4-2 loss to MLS club New York Red Bulls in the International Champions Cup.

Moses, who spent last season on loan at Stoke City, impressed Mourinho with his performance which helped Chelsea to a 1-0 half-time lead before they crumbled in the second lot of 45 minutes.

"Victor is strong, he's experienced and he knows the Premier League well," said Mourinho.

"He's fast and aggressive. He has to learn how to play with us but I'm happy with his week and his 45 minutes.

"Let's see what happens but Victor had an evolution in the last couple of years."
