Victor Moses has signed a new four-year contract with Premier League champions Chelsea before completing a season-long loan move to West Ham.
Moses was deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge after spending last season on loan at Stoke after another loan spell at Liverpool the year before that.
But the winger has penned a surprise new deal with the Blues and will now spend the remainder of the season on loan with the Hammers.
The 24-year-old, who spent the last season on loan with Stoke City, scored three goals in 19 Premier League appearances for the Potters last season, helping them to their highest ever league finish of 9th place.
The Nigeria international has featured in his country’s victorious 2013 Africa Cup of Nations campaign and the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
This is Moses’s third loan spell in as many seasons having previously been on loan with Liverpool.
Moses also becomes the Hammers’ second loan-signing on transfer deadline day, having earlier announced the arrival of midfielder Alex Song from Barcelona.
