Transfer: Why We Signed Victor Moses – Luton Town Manager

Luton Town manager, Rob Edwards, has explained the rationale behind the club’s decision to sign Victor Moses.

The Hatters confirmed the acquisition of the former Nigeria international on a free transfer on Tuesday.

Moses, who last played for Russian side Spartak Moscow, departed the club at the end of last season after his contract expired.

“Victor is one we’ve been talking to for quite a while. He trained with us last week and played 60 minutes in a behind-closed-doors game and we made a decision because we think he’s able to come in and help us,” Edwards told the club’s official website.

“He gives us more strength in depth and versatility because he’s someone who can play both sides or as a number ten.”

Moses spent the majority of his career in England playing for clubs like Wigan Athletic, Chelsea, Liverpool, West Ham United and Stoke City.

The winger also had a short stint in Italy with Inter Milan.

Edwards, however, said he will not put too much pressure on the player.

“He’s played for so many different clubs in different ways and shapes, and under different managers, so he’s tactically aware. We think he’s someone who can provide some really good competition for us,” he added.

“I don’t want to put too much pressure on him and expect too much too soon. He’s not going to come in and start the games straight away.

”He’s got to get used to what we do and how we play, but he’s fit, he’s able to come in and affect it now, and he definitely makes the squad stronger.”
