Mikel Obi Praises Victor Moses in 2013 Afcon Victory

Former Chelsea star Mikel Obi has heaped praise on Spartak Moscow forward Victor Moses, calling him the best player he ever played with at the national level.

Mikel fondly recalled the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations tournament, where Moses delivered an outstanding performance that significantly contributed to the Super Eagles’ victory in the competition.

Moses, who was signed by Chelsea from Wigan Athletic, showcased his speed and shooting abilities during the AFCON tournament.

The ex-Chelsea forward, who joined Liverpool on loan that same period, scored two goals and provided the crucial assist for Sunday Mba’s goal that secured the victory for Stephen Keshi’s team.

Speaking during an interview, Mikel identified Moses as the player he most enjoyed playing with, particularly highlighting his immense impact during Nigeria’s third AFCON trophy win.
