He joined the Blues from Wigan in the off-season and has since caught the eye of Super Eagles boss Stephen Keshi with several good performances this season.

The forward scored his first goal for the capital club a few weeks back in a draw with Swansea.

He then followed it up with his first-ever UEFA Champions League goal, against Shakhtar Donetsk, to secure a late win for his new team.

Moses earned his first international call-up for a friendly against Guatemala earlier this year and is set to make his full debut at AFCON in South Africa.

"This will certainly be my first Africa Cup of Nations. And I want to make it a memorable one by doing my best and giving Nigeria all I've got," the 21-year-old told Goal.com.

"It will be an honour for me to represent Nigeria at this stage in African football after accepting to play for the country in short a time. I want to take my club form to play at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.

"I want to give everything in all the matches and I know all the players that will be selected will also be ready to die for Nigeria if need be."
