Feyenoord winger Anis Hadj Moussa has posted on his social media attending Chelsea's defeat at home to Fulham on Boxing Day. In recent weeks, the 22-year-old has been fiercely linked with a Premier League move, despite only joining the Eredivisie giants in the summer.

Moussa has scored three goals and provided one assist so far in Holland's top-flight and the Blues have been tipped as one of the many clubs circling the Algerian talent. According to La Gazette du Fennec, the attacker is high on Liverpool's list to replace former Chelsea wideman Mohamed Salah - who is the subject of intense speculation over his future at Anfield with his contract expiring in the summer.

The former Vitesse Arnhem starlet was in attendance at Stamford Bridge on Thursday to see Chelsea squander the chance to reduce the deficit to Arne Slot's side at the top of the Premier League. Cole Palmer fired them to the perfect start with a superb low-effort into the bottom corner.

However, two late goals from Harry Wilson and Rodrigo Muniz completed an unlikely comeback win for the Cottagers - claiming bragging rights over their London rivals for the first time in Premier League history and a first triumph SW6 since 1979.

A post from one Feyenoord fan suggested that the trip to English capital signals the possibility of an impending move to Chelsea. X user De Overlaap tweeted: "Anis Hadj Moussa is well on his way to Chelsea FC. He has even been spotted in the stands at Stamford Bridge."

Moussa shot to the spotlight as he was one of the inspirations in their unlikely comeback against Manchester City. Moussa reduced the arrears with 15 minutes remaining before Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko completed the turnaround with goals seven minutes apart.

The forward is currently enjoying the winter break as Eredivisie clubs enjoy a rest before their league campaign restarts at the beginning of January. Since succeeding Slot, Danish manager Brian Priske has only managed to steer Feyenoord to fourth in the Eredivisie - entering the interval on the back of a disappointing 3-0 defeat at rivals PSV Eindhoven
