Former Chelsea hero Michael Essien has implored Victor Moses to leave the club ahead of the January transfer window.

Moses was a key cog for the Blues during Antonio Conte's tenure as Blues manager but has struggled for game time under Maurizio Sarri.

The former Nigeria star has made only two appearances in the English Premier League for the club this season.

Essien believes that Moses should leave Chelsea during the January 2019 transfer window.

“When you’re not playing you get frustrated and you want to look elsewhere,” the former Chelsea star observed.

He said the decision to stay or move rests with Moses who is determined to rescue his career from Chelsea Coach, Maurizio Sarri.

“It’s up to them really but they have to keep working and then everyone gets their chance,” he noted.

Moses has been linked with English clubs Crystal Palace, West Ham United as well as Wolverhampton Wanderers but financial terms appearing to be standing between the player and switching from Stamford Bridge.

"Every player wants to play. Chelsea isn’t an easy place to come and the competition is very fierce."

"At the end of the day, all the players work but it’s the manager who will pick who he wants to play,” Essien told UK’s Express.
