John Mikel Obi’s former team mate at Chelsea,
Salomon Kalou, has paid up a $5,000 bet he had
with the Nigerian midfielder, after the Super
Eagles defeated Cote d’Ivoire 2-1, to move
into the AFCON 2013 semi-finals. Kalou and Obi struck up a good friendship
from the times they spent together at
Stamford Bridge and the Lille forward so was
confident, that he told Obi that he would
score one of the goals in the game. However, Emmanuel Emenike and Sunday Mba
ensured Cheik Tiote’s header didn’t count and
Kalou has now confirmed he has given Obi the
money. He told Brila FM: “We played a very good Super
Eagles, they started the game well and scored
a good goal to take the lead. I have redeemed
my pledge to Mikel as he won the bet.”
