Moses joined Chelsea in 2012 for a reported transfer fee of £9 million from Wigan Athletic but has been unsuccessful in his attempt to nail down a regular spot in the first team of the Stamford Bridge club.
The 23-year-old was even hurled off on a season-long loan deal at Liverpool last season and has now been
tipped to leave the club on a permanent basis this summer.
Mourinho, who returned to Chelsea as manager last summer, has now revealed that he could sell Moses before the end of August.
The “Special One” explained that Moses may be surplus to requirements as he plays in a position where the club is spoilt for choice.
“Everyone knows that we have one too many foreign players in the squad. And Victor is not a foreign player.
He plays in a position where we have a lot of cover,” Mourinho told London24.com.
Moses has been capped by England at youth level and also holds a British passport but that may not be enough to save him from the cull at the Bridge.
“Moses is English. We will make that decision at the end of the month and Victor is part of that process, so maybe he stays, maybe he leaves,” Mourinho said.
Moses has scored just one league goal in 23 appearances for Chelsea.
