Five Players Chelsea Should Sign & Five They Should Sell

Out – John Obi Mikel

John Obi Mikel celebrated his first Premier League goal for Chelsea in last weekend’s victory over Fulham at Stamford Bridge, which after eight years at the club perhaps tells you everything you need to know about the Nigerian midfielder. Although the 26-year-old is a solid and reliable shield for Chelsea’s back four, he is terribly limited in what he can do going forward, which just doesn’t feel like enough for a club of Chelsea’s size.

Galatasaray showed a strong interest in Mikel during the summer, and it is thought that the Blues would have sold him had they managed to bring in one of their main midfield targets. It seems likely that this saga may raise its head again in the January transfer window, as Mikel is another player who shouldn’t really be relied upon for a club with Chelsea’s ambitions.
