Victor Moses plays this years after several seasons for his club instead of joining other clubs on loan, Mikel advised him to do this for a long time.

Victor Moses joined Chelsea in 2012 but spent most of the seasons out on loan at Stoke, Liverpool and West Ham. This season he stays at his club and impressed under Conte. The 25-year-old played in all the games this season.

His friend and team-mate John Obi Mikel told 'Goal': "I always told him: 'Where are you going?' every time he goes away. Where are you going? I mean, you always go out on loan, but why? Stay here and fight, you are a very good player, a young player. You are quick, you are strong, you are fast, you can dribble, where are you going? Why are you always running away from this football club?'

"Every time I talk to him, he says he wants to play football and I think he has found a manager who will give him time, who believes he has got a lot to offer the team. I think he is ready to take up that challenge as well. I think it is the right time for Vic to be here.

"I think, if he was here another time, I don't think he would have made it, but I think that this is the right time for him".
