Inter Milan considering bid for Chelsea Mikel Obi [Daily Mail]

Inter Milan have expressed an interest in Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel as back-up in case they fail to sign Felipe Melo from Galatasaray. 

The Nigerian struggled to make an impact in Jose Mourinho's first team last season following the brilliant form of fellow holding midfielder Nemanja Matic.

 

Blues boss Mourinho is keen to try and keep Mikel, but knows it will be hard to try and persuade the 28-year-old to settle for a place on the bench at Stamford Bridge.
