According to the Daily Star, Arsenal are set to jump in and hijack Victor Moses’ potential move to Liverpool or Chelsea, if Theo decides not to renew his contract at The Emirates.
Dave Whelan has so far rejected any bids for the 21-year-old. However, with Moses out of contract at the end of the season he has started to come round to the fact that he cannot afford to lose the Nigerian forward for free, and could potential recoup £10 million for his services.
It’s been reported that Theo is currently rejecting a four-year £70k-a-week deal as he wants to pocket somewhere in the region of £100k. This could potentially see Arsenal cash in on Walcott and get Moses, who had a brilliant season at Wigan and was arguably one of their most important players.
It appears that several players are trying to play hardball with Arsenal and Arsene Wenger this summer and in all fairness it hasn’t really worked in the players’ favour. I am sure that if Wenger doesn’t want to offer him what he wants then the message will simply be…sell him and get me £15 million, which would pay for Moses and give Arsenal some extra transfer funds.
Reports coming out of Wigan stated they have offered Moses a deal worth £20k-a-week, but the former Crystal Palace man has made it very clear that he wants to leave.
Should Arsenal be able to sell Walcott for £15 million, instead of giving in to his demands and offering him the £100k new deal and buy Moses and give him a £20,000 a week contract, then the Gunners would pocket £5 million in funds from Theo’s sale and further reduce the wage bill by £2.6 million a year, which I’m sure Wenger will see as a very good business deal in whole.
I personally think Moses would be a good purchase for the club, and although he wouldn’t be the signing that everyone would want to see come in, I think he has the potential to blossom into a very good player under Wenger and the Arsenal staff.

He caused our defence all sorts of problems at the emirates .Looks a good solid player to me I would swap him for the lightweight walcott anyday
u cant be seriosness, man.
walcott is not all that, but this Moses is decent at best. and he is black too. i mean from Wigan to Arsenal. Too bigga step.
You are officially an idiot….Stupid comment.
no, its not stupid comaent. and im not insulting anyone, so neither shuldda do. u all are talkin bout this guy as a messiah, ahero, but his just an avarage, decent footieman. and he is black. i mean, walcott has da experience, cl footie, et cettera, what does moses have? well, thats then
And he is a more intelligent player. He’d flourish under Wenger’s tutelage. But he will be away with Nigeria in January as would Song and Gerv. That could hurt.
What hurts more, that he is mediocre. Did u watcha wigan matches week in week out? Well, I did. Moses is da typical mediocre playa like downing, rodwell, pienaar…its da Arsenal not some midtable clubba
Nation cup would now be staged in june/july
Hes a good player only 21 too has loads of potential but i think people over look walcott he hit double figures in goals and assists last year he can be frustrating yes but look at game vs spuds for.instance he was awesome plus half of rvp goals has come from walcott not taking shot and putting it on a plate for rvp if he took it himself i think je could of had near 20 goals this year so walcott over moses anyday but id still like moses signed

Ridiculous, Moses isn’t fit to lace Theo’s boots. If this happened it would show we are just going further and further backwards. Theo is a top player we must keep and Moses should not be anyway considered. Unbelievable some people.
Like he’s really going to come to arsenal for only 20 grand a week the same as what wigan have offered come on be realistic !
@garrythered…shut up you beef!…this is how you overrate mediocre english players year in year out..walcott is average, he is not a top player..and at this point he isnt one to get his shoe laced by another,do you knw moses plays for wigan? A bottom team that always find themselves defending,walcott has got great players all around him with arsenal’s attacking style he’s only gonna blossom, yea i prefer walcott to moses now cuz walcott is unselfish buh dnt u dare start the lace the boot shit talk again!!
I think Moses is a very good young winger what does Theo giev us 1 good game every three, bad decision making, very light-weight. Yes he has pace but doesnt use it well.
Moses is strong and has desire he was playing excellent for Wigan last season
u are a joke, my frennda, im afraid. he had az excellent spell, thats it. in da 1st part of da season, hi was mediocre. his conversational rate was abysmal, and i dont give a sheft bout his workrate. this is da arsenal, not da almost relegated wigan
i think moses have more to offer than walcott and will flourish under wenger’s guidance.walcott is lightweight,inconsistent and a one-dimensional player.moses is black and powerful.can take defenders one-on-one like what he did at the emirates.he gave our best defender nightmare.if he flourished in a team like wigan,how much more in an arsenal team with greater talants.
