On Tuesday Wigan chairman Dave Whelan met with Chelsea's chief executive Ron Gourlay as the clubs attempted to agree a deal for the 21 year old forward.
Chelsea have been told by Wigan to either match their £8.5 million valuation of the 21 year old or walk away. Chelsea are hoping to seal the deal before Sunday so they can include him in the squad for the Community Shield match against the Premier League champions, Manchester City.
Having started some way apart in terms of their valuations of Victor Moses, the clubs seem to be close to agreeing a deal. Wigan initially wanted £10 million for the forward but have now dropped their asking price to a figure that Chelsea think is more reasonable.
Chelsea bos Roberto Di Matteo is said to be keen to bring the former England Under-21 player to Stamford Bridge, though the final decision will lie with Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich.
Victor Moses will be Chelsea's fifth signing after Marko Marin joined from Werder Bremen, Eden Hazard from Lille, Thorgan Hazard from Lens and most recently Oscar from Internacional.
