West Ham United are reportedly set to acquire the services of Chelsea winger Victor Moses on loan from the defending Premier League champions, with a view to a permanent move next summer.
Sky Sports News tweeted that a deal is set to take place before the transfer deadline:

Moses has spent the last two seasons on loan having failed to entrench himself in the Blues’ starting lineup; he played for Liverpool in 2013-4 and for Stoke City the following season. He scored ten goals for the Blues in his last full season at the club, in 2012-3, but four of these were in the Europa League.
Despite playing for England at youth levels up to and including under-21 level, Moses now represents his country of birth, Nigeria, at senior level. He has received 24 senior caps and scored seven goals – six of them in competitive matches.
Moses would bring a goal threat to a team that is clearly in need of one given the injuries to many of the Hammers’ strikers.
