The Blues winger will make his sixth loan move and become the 30th player to leave west London on a temporary deal this summer
Chelsea’s Victor Moses has agreed in principle to a season-long loan at Spartak Moscow, but he will still need to undergo a medical in the Russian capital to complete the deal.
The 29-year-old winger visited a sports clinic in Rome on Friday to conduct checks on a hip problem that he sustained while on loan at Inter last season, although that injury will not be a barrier to the move.
Indeed, Moses has already played several behind-closed-doors friendlies at Cobham to keep fit and even scored in the club’s 1-1 draw with Wimbledon last month.
After Inter refused to exercise their option to buy the Nigeria international for €10 million (£9m/$12m), the Blues opted to send the winger on yet another loan with the view to sell him at a similar price next summer.
Moses’ current deal expires in 2021 so he will agree on a one-year extension to protect Chelsea’s investment and allow the club to potentially earn a transfer fee next summer.
It will be the sixth loan move for Moses after spells with Liverpool, Stoke City, West Ham, Fenerbahce and Inter. Indeed, before his move to Turkey, Moses was a first-team regular at Stamford Bridge under Antonio Conte in a team that won a Premier League title and FA Cup.
