"I'm looking forward to it. I had a few offers from Europe, but I said to my agent that I set my mind on staying over here, and here we are. I'm very pleased and honoured to be at this club, and I just can't wait to get going," Moses said in his first interview with LTFC+

Luton Town Manager Rob Edwards expressed his enthusiasm for signing Moses.

"Victor is one we've been talking to for quite a while. He trained with us last week and played 60 minutes in a behind-closed-doors game, and we made a decision because we think he's able to come in and help us."
