I am in liverpool for a purpose-Victor Moses

Super Eagles attacker, Victor Moses, has
said that he joined English side Liverpool to
do a job. The Nigerian joined the Anfield
side on Monday in a last day transfer from
Chelsea. The winger is on a year loan move.
Moses said, "First and foremost, I'm
delighted to have made the loan from
Chelsea to a big club like Liverpool.

The
most important thing is for me to be
professional about it and I'm here to do a
job for the club.

"The target is to get into the top four and
for the club to compete in the Champions
League – and I'm delighted to be here."

The 22-year-old, who scored 10 goals in 42
appearances
for Chelsea after joining from
Wigan Athletic last year, was at Anfield on
Sunday to watch Liverpool beat
Manchester United 1-0 in a Premier League
match. Liverpool's victory over United left
them two points in front of Chelsea at the
top of the Premier League and meant that
they were the only team in the division
with a perfect record so far this season.

The former Wigan player could not hide his
excitement immediately after he was
signed on Monday. He sent out a personal
message to his fans via his Twitter handle.
He wrote, "Really excited to be joining
Liverpool this season and can't wait to
make my debut now."

Moses transfer turned a bit of surprise
after Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho had
said he was delighted by his work rate.
Mourinho spoke during at their pre-season
tour of the USA.

Mourinho said in July, "Victor (Moses) has
been terrific. He is another one who is
working very hard. He hasn't missed a
single minute of a training session.

"I think Victor is a very good option for us.
In Victor's position we have Hazard, (Kevin)
De
Bruyne, Schurrle – it's a position where
a coach can make a change during a match
and give new life and fresh blood to the
team. He is a player who makes the squad
stronger and gives us options."

Liverpool kick-started Monday's transfer
deadline day in England by making three
signings. France international Mamadou
Sakho and Portuguese centre-back Tiago
Ilori arrived at Anfield on permanent deals
while, Moses was signed on a season-long
loan.
Liverpool boss Bredan Rodgers, speaking
after the United match, said reinforcements
were
necessary if Liverpool were to
continue their excellent start to the season.
"We need that depth and more numbers. If
we can get them over the line, they are
quality players. And having competition for
places is a nice problem to have."
