The Nigeria international became the Reds'
eighth summer signing when a season-long
switch was agreed with the Londoners earlier
this month.
Rodgers worked with the 22-year-old as a
youngster when Moses trained at Stamford
Bridge, and he has since made almost a
century of appearances in the Barclays Premier
League.
The new No.12 was a Europa League winner in
2012-13 too, but the Reds boss believes the
versatile attacker has the potential to improve
even further at Anfield.
"I know what I'm getting with Victor," the
Northern Irishman told the Liverpool Echo.
"He is an intelligent footballer. He has good
pace, he's strong and he has got good
experience.
"He has already played 100 Premier League
games and we were fortunate that he became
available.
"I like his character. He's coming in here to
prove himself and he is coming into a coaching
environment.
"We always bring players in we feel have more
development in them. At 22, there is still a lot
of potential in Victor.
"The environment we create is such that if
players have that willingness, commitment and
hunger to develop then they will improve -
there is no question about that. We have to
maximise what we can get out of players."
