Moses hopes for fresh chance at Chelsea

Victor Moses hopes for a fresh chance at Chelsea this season.

He looked certain to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, but manager Jose Mourinho is having second thoughts about the Nigeria international because he counts as a home grown player in the Premier League and Champions League.

Moses, who played for his country at the World Cup this summer, is hoping to take the opportunity despite being linked with a loan move away and said: "There are a lot of quality players here but I will keep giving it all I have got.

"I just have to forget about last season and think about this season, concentrate and keep working hard.

"What happened at Liverpool - that's football for you. It was a loan move, I wanted to play football but I unfortunately didn't get as many games as I expected.

"My fitness is getting there. It was my first pre-season game - I came back injured after the World Cup. I couldn't join up with the lads and was just getting treatment at the training ground.

"I'm delighted I got on (against Ferencvaros) and had the minutes I had. You're looking at three-four games before you get back to full fitness. I'm enjoying my football at the moment and will just keep working hard."
