NIGERIAN international Victor Moses has said that the encouragement received from Daniel Sturridge inspired him to sign for Liverpool on loan.
Moses told 'liverpoolfc.tv' that the loan move from Chelsea is the best thing to have happened to his career.
"Yes, I spoke to Studge and he wanted me to come here. He said I'd love it here, but he didn't need to say much. The next morning, I had a word with my agent and told him it could be the right move for me. As I've said, it's a massive club with great history. The club is doing well, so I wanted to come here and enjoy my football. It's been great - I've been here since yesterday and everyone has been looking after me," Moses said.
The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) winner with the Super Eagles stated that helping Liverpool to grab one of the UEFA Champions League ticket at the end of the season.
"The most important thing is for me to be professional about it and I'm here to do a job for the club. The target is to get into the top four and for the club to compete in the Champions League - and I'm delighted to be here.
"It's definitely the right move - this is a massive club with all the history. The club has come a long way and it's great to be here and to be playing for Liverpool. I'm delighted to be here and I just want to enjoy my football," said the Nigeria forward.
It will be recalled that manager Jose Mourinho left Moses out of the Chelsea squad which lost the UEFA Super Cup last Friday to Bayern Munich via penalties.
