Chelsea Rejects Inter’s Offer for Mikel

Chelsea have dismissed Inter Milan’s bid for Nigeria international midfielder John Mikel Obi.

Inter have reportedly approached the Stamford Bridge club for the services of the 27-year-old, signed from Norwegian club Lyn Oslo in 2006.

The Nerazzurri have sought for a loan move for World Cup-bound Obi, but Chelsea have turned them down and have placed a 9 million pound price tag on the player, according to English tabloid, The Daily Mirror.
