Captain of the Super Eagles and Olympic Bronze winning football
star, John Michael Nchekwube Obinna, popularly known as Mikel Obi, has
been reportedly handed a new free role by Chelsea FC coach, Antonio
Conte.
The 29-year-old Chelsea star who is presently the second longest
serving player in the squad, has been juggling with two different roles.
He plays as a defensive midfielder for his club while he plays in a
more advanced role for Nigeria.
According to an exclusive report by OwnGoalNigeria,
Chelsea coach, Conte has decided to hand Mikel the same role as he
plays in the Nigeria national team as part of the sweetener he wants to
use in luring him to sign a new deal at Stamford Bridge.
Conte signed N’Golo Kante for the role Mikel has been alternating
with Nemanja Matic, raising doubts about the chances of the Mikel
getting to play games for the team this season.
According to reports, Chelsea held talks with Mikel’s
representatives this week where Mikel was promised a role same as the
one he plays for the Nigeria national team, and it’s expected that he
will now be seen in a more attacking role and possibly signed a new
deal.
“Mikel and Conte had a chat about his role in the team,
although he has been assured he will be played in the role that suits
him the more by the manager. He is also ready to fill in anywhere he is
needed for the team”, a source close to the player revealed.
