Where to go? Only Moses knows

With the imminent departure of Victor Moses from Crystal Palace, the question everybody is asking is "where is he going to go?". A number of scouts attended Saturday's match with Plymouth in which Moses scored the only goal of the game, and later, manager Neil Warnock admitted he expected it to be the last time Moses turned out in a Crystal Palace shirt.

Nigerian born Moses has been linked with giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, but one would expect him to stay in England to pursue his career both domestically and internationally. Spurs and Liverpool are also rumoured to be interested in the 19 year old's signature, but surely Victor will want to be guaranteed first team football wherever he goes?

The chances of getting first team football at Spurs is very unlikely. You just have to look back to the summer where Tottenham splashed out millions of pounds on the double signing of Kyle Naughton and Kyle Walker. Walker was loaned back to Sheffield Utd and Naughton has one appearance to his name. The competition is very strong at Spurs also, with Keane, Defoe, Crouch all competing for 2 places on the front line. A move to Anfield would be risky also, with Benitez's job on the line, nobody likes to be bought by a manager who is on his way out! However, he could solve their striker issue with Torres currently injured and Ngog not being able to hit a barn door with a banjo. Everton (Dan Gosling) and Blackburn (Keith Andrews) are clubs that have successfully bought lower league players and brought them into the first team, but there have been no rumours of interest from either party.

Expect Moses to be snapped up by next weekend, but in whose colours will he be walking out in?
