Chelsea is ready to offer midfielder John Obi Mikel to
Southampton in order to sign the £25 million-rated Morgan Schneiderlin, who is
also wanted by Arsenal.
Arsenal currently lead the race to sign the
France international, with Arsene Wenger confident the 25-year-old wants a move
to north London this summer.
But Chelsea’s potential offer could prove more
tempting for Southampton manager Ronald Koeman, who may feel the experienced
Mikel could be the ideal replacement for Schneiderlin.
The 27-year-old has been with Chelsea since
2006 and has made 329 appearances for the Blues, scoring five goals in the
process.
But the Nigeria international’s game-time at
Stamford Bridge has been limited this season due to the options Jose Mourinho
has at his disposal.
