Paul Merson: This unsung Chelsea hero is just as important as Eden Hazard and Diego Costa
PAUL MERSON has reserved special praise for Chelsea star Victor Moses.
Victor Moses hasn't always got the same acclaim as some of his Chelsea team-mates
Under Antonio Conte, Moses has operated as a wing-back this season for Chelsea.

Moses has been a beneficiary of the loan system and Merson has been suitably impressed.

And he thinks he has been the club’s unsung hero.

“You talk about Eden Hazard and Diego Costa but Moses has been as important as anyone in making this system work for Conte and he's also scored some important goals.
