Former youth international, EtimEsin, is optimistic that Super Eagles forward Victor Moses will shine at Chelsea after joining the side from Wigan Athletic last week.

Moses completed a 9 million pounds move to Stamford Bridge after weeks of speculation and was handed the number 13 jersey worn by German star, Michael Ballack, when he was with the Blues.

“Nigerians are worried about Victor Moses because he will have to contend with some other good players at the club, but I think he can make an impact at the club,” the former Super Eagles midfielder said.

“The manager, Roberto Di Matteo, will play him on the wings and he will have about two players to fight for a place which I think is not a big number. Victor will cope and will have game time at Chelsea. I’m not really worried. He just has to replicate the form he had at Wigan,” Esin said.

On the forthcoming 2013 Africa Nations Cup qualifier against Liberia in Monrovia on September 8, the one-time Lierse of Belgium midfield maestro hailed the rebuilding efforts of Stephen Keshi and expresses belief that the team named for the game will deliver.

“The list for the game against Liberia is okay. Yes, there are some big names omitted, but generally, it is a good team and I have no doubt that Liberia will be defeated but the boys have to also take the game seriously because we’ve seen some matches being lost or drawn contrary to expectations in the past.”
