Wigan offer to double Moses' wages

Wigan chairman Dave Whelan claims they have offered to double Victor Moses' wages and has hit out at his agent.



The Latics owner has expressed his concern over the influence the 21-year-old's agent has over the player but the Nigeria international has hinted he could be on his way if the right offer comes in.



Whelan has accused Chelsea of "taking the Mickey" with their reported offer of £3million for Moses, whose current deal expires next summer.



"We've made him a very good offer - involving a doubling of his wages - over the next three years," Whelan told the Evening Post. "It's down to whether the lad himself listens to sense, or whether he listens to his agent.



"The player has to realise that it's his future we're talking about not his agent's.

"Agents want cash out of players, that's all, whereas we want the lad to realise his potential and reach the highest level he can. If we have to sell him, we will do so reluctantly - but not for the money that is currently on the table."

Latics reject Chelsea bid

Chelsea have failed with a bid to land Victor Moses after their opening offer fell well short of Wigan's valuation.



The European Champions have been showing a keen interest in the Latics star and they have now taken it to the next level by making an offer for the player.



How much Blues owner Roman Abramovich put on the table remains to be seen, but whatever it was Wigan have rejected it as they hold out for a fee in the region of £10million.



That will not be the end of the matter though and Chelsea are set to continue negotiations with Wigan in the hope that a fee can eventually be agreed.



Moses himself would jump at the chance of a move to Stamford Bridge and as long as a fee can be agreed, the youngster will complete a move back to London.
