Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo confirmed the European champions are close to signing Nigeria forward Victor Moses from Wigan. Di Matteo's team had an improved offer, reported to be worth £9 million ($14 million), accepted for Moses on Thursday after failing with four previous bids for the 21-year-old. Moses is believed to have travelled to London for a medical and to discuss personal terms on Friday and Di Matteo expects the former Crystal Palace star wll be confirmed as a Chelsea player shortly. "The clubs have agreed terms now. The player will have a medical. Subject to that he might become a Chelsea player," Di Matteo said on Friday. "(Wigan manager) Roberto Martinez has done a wonderful job with this player since signing him. He's really developed him. "He had a very good season last year and hopefully we can progress his development. "He can play on either wing and will give the team width. He has good dribbling ability, has pace and is powerful. "We've tried very hard to get this player. We like him very much. He's young and hopefully he'll be the future of the club." Di Matteo also revealed that captain John Terry will miss Saturday's Premier League clash against Newcastle at Stamford Bridge because of a neck injury.
