French side Monaco join in the race for Nigerian and Chelsea midfielder Mikel Obi
Big spenders Monaco joins the list
of clubs keen on a move for Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel. The 26-year-old
Nigerian international has attracted offers from Turkish side Galatasaray and
Trabzonspor. Galatasaray where Ivorian and former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba
currently plays are in a better position to close the deal with the Blues for
the £16million central midfielder
Mikel, joined Chelsea in 2006, signed by Jose Mourinho - after a long-drawn-out
transfer saga involving Manchester United and Norwegian side Lyn Oslo
Six years later, and with four
years left in his contract following his contract renewal last year, Mikel admitted
his future with the Blues is unclear.
Speaking late last week Mikel said: I have a four-year contract with Chelsea,
but you know, in football you can never guess, one day you are here, the next
day you might leave.’
Meanwhile, the Blues who are
currently on their pre-season tour of Asia have made an offer for Sporting
Lisbon teenager Bruma, 18, who was the subject of a bizarre kidnap plot from
his club’s fans this week.
