29-year-old footballer, Mikel Obi may be leaving Chelsea for the Rio 2016
Olympic Men’s football Tournament with Nigeria obi leaving his new manager,
Antonio Conte with some serious thoughts about a regular shirt in the new
Blues.
There have been speculations the Nigeria International will
end up the odd man out or just surplus to requirement at Cobhams especially
since the arrival of last season’s Champion, N’golo Kante.
Along with John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic, Mikel is one of
three longest serving senior members of the Chelsea squad but his has often
taken a laid back role at the club despite being one of the most gifted
midfielders the club has seen.
Mikel is in his 10th season at Chelsea and under Conte he
has played some part this pre season; along with Nemanja Matic and academy
graduate, Reuben Loftus Cheek.
So as concerns grow back home over his continued relevance
at the bridge with Conte looking to erase what was a dismal campaign last
season, Mikel could as well lead Nigeria to gold in Rio to further make that
impression Conte so badly wants to see.
Brila sports.
