Chelsea midfielder Obi Mikel admits Anzhi transfer talks

Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has revealed contact with Anzhi.

The Nigeria international could be moving to Russia today with the local transfer deadline falling tonight.

"It is true that I have been in contact with some Anzhi officials, who wanted to know if there was the possibility that I moved to Russia, but I have not yet given them an answer," Obi Mikel told MTN Football.

"I am a player of Chelsea and changing clubs is not something to be made lightly. I love Chelsea and I am taking the time I need to make a decision.

"My main goal is to play on a regular basis and that has not happened lately. I hope that after my latest injury, I will be able to play regularly again."
