The Nigeria-born forward, who signed for the Latics from Crystal Palace on Monday in a 2.5-million-pound (2.85-million-euro) deal, has already represented England at under-19 level and is confident he has made the right move to further his international ambitions.

‘There were a number of clubs interested but I’m very happy to have chosen Wigan ahead of them,’ the 19-year-old said.

‘I’ve played a lot of football in the Championship and now I’m being given the chance to prove myself in the Premier League. I know I’ll have to step my game up and work a lot harder. I’m looking forward to every game and hopefully I can continue progressing as a player.

‘Now that I’m in the Premier League, hopefully I can prove to everyone that I am a good player, and hopefully in the future a call-up to the England senior team might be on the cards.

‘But I just want to take things one step at a time and focus on playing for Wigan Athletic for the time being.’

Moses is expected to make his Wigan debut in Saturday’s Premier League match at Sunderland.
