Latics chairman Dave Whelan confirmed having turned down the Blues' latest bid for the Nigeria international on Wednesday, saying a mere £5million does not meet their valuation of the exciting young prospect.

Whelan has urged Moses to stay at the DW Stadium and hone his skill, but the 21-year-old has a year left on his current deal and is still mulling over his options.

Di Matteo remains coy on signing Moses, saying: "(It's) something that the clubs are discussing but at the moment he is a Wigan player.

"He had a good season last season, he is young and an interesting prospect."
