Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel is backing Jose Mourinho's return to Stamford Bridge. The Nigerian played for 'the Special One' in his last three-year stint at Chelsea.

Mikel said: "If Mourinho is the one it's going to be a massive, massive plus for us because he's a great guy and he did buy me.

"On and off the pitch he's a fantastic human being. He is someone who listens to his all players and everyone wants to work and fight for him."
