Spartak Moscow have announced Victor Moses will be joining the club on a permanent deal from Chelsea  this summer.

The Nigerian joined the Russian outfit last summer on loan after failing to win over former Blues boss Frank Lampard, with the deal turning permanent if Spartak finished in the top three of the Russian Premier League.

And his temporary stay in the Russian capital proved to be a success, as he scored four goals and laid on as many assists in 19 appearances as Spartak finished runners-up to champions Zenit St Petersburg following the final round of games at the weekend.

His loan move to Spartak last year was his sixth temporary stint away from Stamford Bridge since joining the west London outfit in 2012 from Wigan.

Liverpool, Stoke City, West Ham, Fenerbahce and Inter Milan also added Moses to their ranks on loan deals before his spell with Spartak.

He made 128 appearances for the Blues during his nine-year stay, scoring 18 goals and providing another 13 assists, but did not play for the club after 2018.

Moses’ departure may be the first of many sales at Chelsea this summer, with the futures of Ross Barkley, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Davide Zappacosta and Michy Batshuayi yet to be resolved after loan spells at Aston Villa, Napoli, Genoa and Crystal Palace this term.

One of his strikes came in Spartak’s final game of the season, with his 82nd-minute strike earning them a 2-2 draw at Akhmat Grozny and ensuring they finished a point above city rivals Lokomotiv, securing a place in the third round of Champions League qualification ties in the process.

Now the club have confirmed that they will trigger the option to keep the 30-year-old on a permanent basis.
