JOHN OBI MIKEL has told of how Chelsea chairman Roman Abramovich conducted a “military operation” to get him to sign for the Blues. Chelsea were in a tussle with Manchester United over the Nigerian’s signature.
Mikel had put pen-to-paper at Old Trafford – but he ended up signing for the Blues after a year-long tussle.
