Super Eagles midfielder John Obi Mikel is once again linked
with a move away from the Premiership leaders with latest
reports saying he will be used as lightweight to sign Paul
Pogba. According to the Daily Express Chelsea will bid 40
million pounds for the Juventus 21 year old midfield maestro
and will balance the books by allowing players go in part
exchange.
Players tipped to be used as sweetener for the Pogba bid by
Chelsea include Brazilian midfielder Ramirez, Germany forward
Andre Schurrle with Obi Mikel listed as first option.
This is not the first time Mikel has been linked with a move
away from Stamford bridge but this time around any deal to
take him away has to wait till the summer.
Mikel one of Chelsea longest serving players presently in the
team fell down the pecking order at Chelsea following the
signing of Nemanja Matic a year ago.
This season his route back into the team has been blocked by
the near perfect partnership of Matic and summer signing
Cesc Fabregas in the middle for the Blues.
Galatassary, Schalke 04,AC Milan are teams who have been
linked to Mikel in the past as his 8 year stay at Chelsea ap
pears to be coming to an end though he is still contracted to
the team until the summer of 2017.
