Chelsea to offer £40 million + Mikel for Pogba

According to the Express, London side Chelsea are preparing an offer a mammoth deal which will include £40m plus Nigerian midfielder Mikel Obi or the duo of Ramires and Andre Schurrle for the 21-year-old.

Reports earlier this week claims that Real Madrid, Paris Saint German, and former club Manchester United are willing to pay between €75m and €85m for the France International which will be a world record fee for a central midfielder.

Mikel has played for nine seasons for the Blues since he joined from Norwegian side Lyn Oslo in 2006.

He has found playing time hard to come by since the signing of Serbia midfielder, Nemanja Matic.

The Nigerian earlier stated in the week that he was contented with his bit-part role at the club.

His words “We all know Chelsea parks quality and, to even be in the reckoning at all is a big thing. “

He continued “ Fellow Africans will agree with me that it is not easy to break into the premier league, but I have weathered ait.”
