1 / 3

In a recent interview at a Lagos watch party, Victor Moses opened up on his surprise decision to retire from international football at just 27. He said he felt fulfilled after lifting the AFCON trophy in 2013 and representing Nigeria at two World Cups. Moses stressed that he still loved playing for the Super Eagles. He decided to step aside so other talented players could have their moment on the national stage. The former Chelsea winger also reflected on his club career, from his breakout years at Wigan Athletic and Crystal Palace to winning the Premier League and FA Cup under Antonio Conte at Chelsea. Across 38 caps for Nigeria, Moses scored 12 goals and left a lasting legacy for future generations of Super Eagles stars.
