Wigan forward Victor Moses is being linked with a possible move away from the DW Stadium after the player’s agent revealed that he is yet to sign a new contract.
The former Crystal Palace player initially struggled to make the step up to the Premier League but this season has rediscovered his best form and has been one of Wigan's best players.
Wigan boss Roberto Martinez has continually praised the youngster and was hoping to tie him down to a new deal in the coming weeks, however, it has been revealed that talks have so far been unsuccessful.
Tony Finnigan, Moses' agent, said: "We talked to Wigan about a contract five weeks ago but still haven't seen anything. My phone goes all the time. Victor's got his admirers out there."
As well as Liverpool, Tottenham and Sunderland are also said to be tracking the progress of the 21-year-old and may consider moving for him at the end of the season.
Moses represented England throughout his youth career but still has the opportunity to play for Nigeria as he is yet to make an appearance for the senior England side.
Martin O'Neill is said to be an admirer of Moses and with rumours that Stephane Sessegnon is unhappy at the Stadium of Light, he may consider the Wigan man as a replacement.
Yet, it is Liverpool that is thought to be leading the race to sign the youngster after scouting the player on a number of occasions.
The Metro believes that a bid of £8million would be enough to persuade Wigan to part with the attacker, who also has the ability to drop into midfield and play in wide areas.
Moses record in front of goal is not particularly impressive, with just four league goals for Wigan, but glimpses of his ability have led sides to believe he will improve as he matures.
