Chelsea close on Moses deal

Chelsea appear to be getting closer to signing Wigan forward Victor Moses and Marseille right-back Cesar Azpilicueta.

Blues chief executive Ron Gourlay is said to have contacted Latics chairman Dave Whelan on Monday to discuss a fresh bid for Moses.

Chelsea have already had a bid rejected for Moses, with Whelan said to be holding out for at least £8.5million. He told ESPN: "I have spoken to Chelsea's chief executive and they are easy to deal with. We have told them the price and they will come back and agree it or not."
