Victor Moses Clinches Coveted Spot in France Football Magazine’s Africa XI for 2017

Nigerian winger Victor Moses has earned a prestigious place in France Football magazine’s highly esteemed Africa XI for the year 2017. Completesportsnigeria.com reports that Moses, a vital contributor to Chelsea’s success in clinching the English Premier League title under manager Antonio Conte, was recognized for his outstanding performances both at the club and international levels.

Moses played a pivotal role as Chelsea secured the league title in Conte’s debut season in charge. Despite their FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal, Moses’ versatility and tactical adaptability shone throughout the campaign. The France Football magazine acknowledged his impressive transformation, evolving from a right-winger into a player excelling in both defensive and offensive roles.

The magazine’s official statement highlighted Moses’ contributions, stating, “A champion with the Blues, he has also taken a leading role in the Super Eagles qualifying campaign for the 2018 World Cup in Russia where he will be one of the great African attractions.”

In the Africa XI for 2017, Moses finds himself alongside stellar names such as Essam El-Hadary (Egypt), Saido Mane (Senegal), Mohamed Salah (Egypt), and others. The recognition comes as a consolation for Moses after narrowly missing out on the BBC African Footballer of the Year Award, claimed by Mohamed Salah.

As Moses continues to impress, his inclusion in the France Football magazine’s Africa XI stands as a testament to his exceptional talent and dedication on the football pitch.
