Fabregas rallies support for Victor Moses -

Cesc Fabregas has joined in the campaign for votes for his Chelsea teammate Victor Moses to win the 2017 BBC African Footballer of the Year.

Moses, the only Chelsea player, was nominated alongside four other African footballers.
Moses made the shortlist for the BBC prize following a fantastic year at Chelsea in which he helped the Blues win the Premier League title and reach the FA Cup final, all from the new position of right wing-back.

On the international stage, Moses has been a key player for the Super Eagles who emerged as the first African team to qualify for next summer’s World Cup in Russia.

He scored three goals in qualifying and was named in CAF’s continent-wide best XI.

The BBC award dates back to 1992 and there have been two previous Chelsea winners, Michael Essien (2006) and Didier Drogba (2009).

Austin Okocha is the last Nigerian male player to win the award having won it in 2003 and 2004.
