Witsel to join Chelsea?

Chelsea could seek to bring in Belgian star Axel Witsel as a replacement for John Obi Mikel.



Mikel is expected to end his nine-year association with the Blues this summer, with interest high from Turkey and the Middle East.

According to The Express, the Blues boss Jose Mourinho will look to make a summer bid of around £24m for Zenit St.Petersburg midfielder Witsel.

It is added that Witsel and Mourinho share a same agent in Jorge Mendes, and this could play a important role in the potential deal.
