The Sun UK newspapers has published a shocking report, saying Jose Mourinho intends to sign Chelsea and Super Eagles midfielder John Mikel Obi in January. Mourinho feels Mikel, who has a few months left in his Chelsea contract, will help improve Man U's midfield and is prepared to sign him in January when he knows he'll come cheap. Mikel, 29, has not played under new Stamford Bridge manager Antonio Conte and there are no plans to renew his contract which runs out this season. Now the Man united boss is ready to take advantage with a cut-price New Year offer for the player the Red Devils thought they had signed ten years ago. Mikel had just turned 19 when the Old Trafford outfit announced on their website that they had signed the teenager on a four-year contract from Norwegian club Lyn Oslo. The £4 million transfer was done directly with the player and his club — bypassing his agents and he was even pictured in a United shirt. But Chelsea angrily claimed they had an agreement with the agents to buy him. It was reported Obi started to get threatening phone calls and ended up having to take refuge in a safe hotel with a security guard. He then went missing from Lyn amid stories he had been kidnapped. The Nigerian midfielder had actually travelled to London where he went on Sky Sports TV to claim that he had been pressured into signing for United, something they denied, and he wanted to join the Blues. The matter was resolved when Chelsea paid United £12m and Lyn £4m. If the deal is successful, this will be the second time Mourinho will sign Obi, who he believes can play in a defensive midfield role in front of the back four. He needs that type of player to give £89m Paul Pogba freedom to roam.
