IgbereTV reports that Chelsea footballer, Victor Moses, has made a significant donation to support his former club, Wigan Athletic amid their financial struggles during the pandemic.

At the end of the 2019/2020 season, Wigan were relegated alongside Hull City and Charlton Athletic.

Moses played for the Latics before joining Chelsea in 2012.

The club's supporters body has confimed that the former Super Eagles player has made a significant financial contribution to the club that'll stop them from going into extinction.

The supporters are aiming to raise £750,000 to support the club this season, and they are now within £100,000 of the target after Moses sent money.

“Wow – what can we say? When Victor got in touch to say he wanted to help by donating such a substantial amount, I just couldn’t believe what I was hearing – it’s such an incredible gesture,” , the chairperson of Wigan Athletic Supporters' Club, Caroline Molyneux, said.

“Victor wanted to make the donation and remain anonymous but we simply had to make sure he gets the recognition he deserves.

"Victor’s contribution has taken us past £650,000 and to within £100,000 of our next target of £750,000.

“We are so thankful to Victor for his support. He is an excellent footballer, a true role model and someone we always enjoyed watching at the DW Stadium – he will always be welcome back here, even more so now!”

Journalist Mike Minay also tweeed:

Former Wigan Athletic player Victor Moses has made a “substantial donation” to the @WiganAthSC crowdfunder.

They are now within £100,000 of their £750,000 target.

When I climb up, I ain't coming down.

yea dts the prayer everyone prays but "coming down" is also part of life and thats why legends do say "even if we fall, we must surely rise back" and thats when the ladder maybe needed....

Poor management and then were in the premier league few seasons ago.

Wow

This is not a new news na... It is has been trending since when self? Yesterday or the day before?

Anyhow sha this gesture will somehow help in restoring our good name to outsiders...

Weldon Mr Moses!!!

As generous as this gesture may be, it is rather an exhibition of foolishness.

Such funds should have been donated to the likes of Bendel Insurance of Benin or Mighty Jets of Jos to prevent their extinction.

Nigerians are always good abroad and terrible at home.

I wonder who cursed Nigeria with such unpatriotic tendencies from its citizens.


Rubbish!

Aha... one good goodnews has been spotted. Not all those rape, frund, Yahoo etc news.

Wow news!
I like this, good to remember those who made you

Nice gesture Victor Moses.. Where have u been?

And coronavirus isn't helping matters for this historic club

Nice gesture says it all

it's a nice gesture from Victor Moses ,we miss ur creativity in the super eagles

Good

SOME NIGERIANS STILL DO GOOD

ONE OF MY PIKIN MUST PLAY THIS BALL. THE MONEY TOO MUCH

He's appreciating the impact Wigan had on his professional career as a footballer. I get that. But I hope he has also donated money to NGOs or even local Nigerian clubs. Anyway, his money, his decisions.

This guy is one of the best forwards we have in Nigeria

I don't know why they allowed him to quit the Super Eagles

Looking at the guy's face ordinarily. One can conclude that he's a cool headed guy and destiny helper. This guy has soft heart Sha despite all happened to his parents at that kind young age he's still had mind to play for this silly country called Nigeria...

Victory at last.

Awwwwww

Shey person wey get club no get 1m ni?

It was at this club john Terry had those terrible breathes in the hand of Moses
