“Winning the league is the most important one,” Moses told club website. “It is not easy to win the Premier League and doing that this year is a massive achievement for me, for the lads, for every single one of us at the club and I was very delighted.

“It really means a lot. It is a lot of games and it is good for me to make 100 appearances for a great club like Chelsea.

“It is one of the biggest clubs in the world and I am happy to be here and I am enjoying my football, so I am very delighted with everything.”
