Besiktas
have entered talks with Chelsea over the transfer of Nigerian international
midfielder John Obi Mikel according to Fanatik. The
28-year-old is high up on the Black Eagles shortlist of potential signings this
summer as Besiktas look to strengthen their central midfield.
Besiktas are
targeting an experienced midfielder with a proven track record of top level
football as they have booked a place in the Champions League next season after
winning the Super Lig title.
The Nigerian
international has won the Champions League, Europa League, two Premier League
titles, four FA Cups and two League Cups for Chelsea.
Besiktas
face uncertainty over the future of Atiba Hutchinson and already lack depth in
central midfield.
The Blues
reportedly want £7.7 million for Besiktas target John Obi Mikel according to
the Express.
Mikel has
just a year remaining on his contract and Antonio Conte has yet to make a
decision on his future.
The experienced
midfielder has also had interest from Galatasaray but reportedly turned down a
£110k-a-week offer from Galatasaray back in January.
