Meanwhile, Shamil Gazizov confirmed that the former Super Eagles star lowered his wages in a bid to revive his playing career with his sixth loan spell away from Chelsea. he told Russian Daily Sport Express:

"The footballer wants to play for Spartak. This is the most important point. And everything else is particular. He did not come here to earn money. Yes, [he’s earning less] but only slightly. If we are in the Champions League, we can buy him.

"We can buy him if he plays a certain number of matches. If we get into the Champions League with him, I think there will be no questions.”

Moses might be handed his first start when they battle Krasnodar this weekend. Sources claim Spartak have an option of a permanent £8 million deal for the player if he is able to impress during his loan spell.
