New manager, Antonio Conte, seems to have belief in the Nigerian who has spent the last two seasons away on loan at other clubs.

Substitute Victor Moses found the back of the net as Chelsea maintained their flawless start to the Premier League season with a 3-0 win over Burnley at Stamford Bridge, courtesy of first-half goals from Eden Hazard and Willian.
25-year-old Hazard, who is nearing his peak years as a player, continued to torment Sean Dyche’s men after the break.
Hazard, the man who failed to turn up last season as Chelsea sacked Jose Mourinho and finished 10th in the table, was nearly unplayable at Stamford Bridge as he opened the scoring after nine minutes and helped his team dominate from start to finish. But, also, we know that last season the players were not fifth, or sixth, but tenth.
Eden Hazard set the Blues on their way to victory with a sensational solo effort on nine minutes, drifting onto his right from the left and picking out the bottom corner of the Burnley goal.
“These are players with great talent, fantastic in one versus one”.
Antonio Conte appears destined for a busy end to the transfer window despite Chelsea’s impressive start to the Premier League campaign.
“I hope together, the players and the fans, will push to win the game”.
“He told me to sometimes to go inside, sometimes to stay wide and open up the game”.
“But I’m pleased for his work-rate and commitment during the training session”.
“I hope, through this transfer market, to improve the squad but we understand our targets are very hard to reach”. Today we chose to win the game.
“When the whistle blows you want to be ready to perform but we weren’t”, Dyche said.
“He is a young player, improving a lot and with the work we do he can improve in the future”. When we start in this way, you can work better.

“It’s important to keep pressing him but I can decide to play him at the start tomorrow, yes”. He tries to motivate us and we are giving everything.
