Chelsea sign Moses and Azpilicueta

No fees were disclosed by the Londoners but media reports said Spaniard Azpilicueta, 22, cost about seven million pounds while Moses was bought for nine million pounds.

"I'm a right-back and my first mission is to defend for the team but I also like to offer solutions offensively and I enjoy going forward," the former Marseille player told the club website.

"I have watched a lot of Premier League football on television. It will be difficult at first but I hope, given time, I will be able to play well and adapt."

Moses, 21, joins the Stamford Bridge team after having impressed manager Roberto Di Matteo with his performance in Wigan's 2-0 league defeat at Chelsea's hands on Sunday.

"He caught the eye with his strong running," the European champions said on their website.
