Moses was a key member of the Chelsea squad that won the UEFA Europa League in the 2012/13 season under manager Rafa Benitez.
Expressing his enthusiasm about the move, Victor Moses said, “I’m looking forward to it. I had a few offers from Europe, but I told my agent that I set my mind on staying here, and here we are. I’m very pleased and honoured to be at this club, and I just can’t wait to get going.”
He added that conversations with Luton Town’s head coach, Rob Edwards, and the club’s directors influenced his decision. “They told me the plan and the history of the club, and I just want to be part of the success. I want to come here, enjoy my football, work hard for the club and the team, and get back to where we belong in the Premier League.”
Luton Town manager Rob Edwards expressed excitement about Moses’ arrival, saying, “We think he’s someone who can provide some really good competition for us.”
Moses got a taste of his new team during a behind-closed-doors match last week.
The addition of Moses comes at a crucial time for Luton, who have struggled in the Championship with only one point from four games this season.
Rob Edwards’ Hatters, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, have found their reintegration to the second tier tough, going winless in their opening four games, with three defeats and just one point on the board.
Harris is keen for his side to build momentum following the 3-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday before the international break, reiterating the importance of their home form.
“Any good Millwall team needs to be built on a strong home record at The Den,” Harris said. “We come up against a Luton side that has underachieved so far this season, and they’ll be looking to put that right.
“On paper and on the pitch, they’ve got lots of good players who graced the Premier League last year. They’re a fast, physical, and aggressive side that we need to deal with, and then carry on implementing our own game and style.”
Edwards and Luton earned plaudits last season for their approach to their first-ever campaign in the Premier League. Despite having a budget dwarfed by most of the other sides in the division, they still played without fear. They picked up notable wins against Newcastle United and Brighton, while only losing by the odd goal to Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham.
But this season they have already lost to Burnley, Preston and QPR.
Harris said: ”I think it shows it can be a very difficult league to adapt to, for teams that come down and teams that come up, for different reasons. Any team – like we saw with Leicester last year – can go through a five or six-game period where they might struggle. You don’t want that to happen at the start of the season because it gets highlighted by the league table.”
