John Obi Mikel back on Besiktas radar

Besiktas to reinstall Mikel interest

John Obi Mikel back on Besiktas radar

12 October 2015 - 16:23

Besiktas will reportedly revive their interest in Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel in the winter transfer window.

  • Chelsea ready to sell four home-grown players
  • Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Aston Villa, Palmer starts

  • The Nigerian international had been linked with a move to the Turkish side over the summer, but Blues boss Jose Mourinho was eager to keep the midfielder at Stamford Bridge as a back-up option.

    Mikel has since then struggled for first-team action under Mourinho, and this has once again lit up speculation over his future.

    According to Metro, Besiktas will launch a new offer for the midfield enforcer when the transfer window reopens in January.

    The 28-year-old is currently in his tenth season at the Blues having joined them from Norwegian side Lyn in 2006.
