Spartak Moscow chief Shamil Gazizov says talks to sign Victor Moses with Chelsea ran smoothly.

Moses has joined Spartak on-loan with an option to buy outright for €8m.

Gazizov said, "I cannot say that the negotiations were easy, but they were warm. We agreed quickly enough. By October 5, we were already confident of the deal.

"We also talked to Marina (Granovskaia). The main issues were resolved with her.

"A strong manager. I can't say anything else. What else to say about a woman who is quite successful at Chelsea?"
