Victor Moses will leave his fondness for West Ham to one side next Monday as Chelsea chase the Premier League title.

Moses is one of the surprise packages of the 2016/17 season after becoming a key player for Chelsea following Antonio Conte's switch to a 3-4-3 formation, with the Nigeria international thriving in a right wing-back role.

The 26-year-old has, in part, a successful loan spell at West Ham to thank for his reversal of fortunes at Stamford Bridge, playing regular Premier League football with the Hammers in the 2015/16 campaign.

Moses says that while he is grateful for the chance to impress during West Ham's final season at Upton Park, he is enjoying life at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea head to the Hammers' new London Stadium home for Monday night's London derby.

"I had a great time there last season, it’s a nice memory but now I’m a Chelsea player and I’m enjoying my football," Moses told Chelsea's official website.

"I can’t wait to go to the London Stadium and hopefully we’ll get three points.

"I’ve always wanted to play for this big club, it’s one of the best clubs in the world at the moment and I’m enjoying every single minute.

"I just want to keep on working hard and helping my team-mates out."

Chelsea make the trip across London having overcome a resilient Swansea display to beat Paul Clement's side 3-1 at the Bridge last weekend, showing patience to turn the match around after Fernando Llorente had cancelled out Cesc Fabregas' opening goal.

Pedro and Diego Costa struck after the interval to make the game safe, and Moses said: "I thought we did well and showed great character.

"Swansea did well in the way they tried to sit back and frustrate us but we kept on playing and as soon as we got the second goal we started to enjoy it.

"We’re not looking at the table at the moment, we still have 12 matches to play and we just need to take each game as it comes.

"We just want to stay grounded and win as many games as we can between now and the end of the season.

"We’re going to stay focused and keep working hard together as a team, as everyone can see we’re doing."
