Chelsea's Obi Mikel willing to play anywhere for Nigeria

Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel says he's willing to play anywhere for Nigeria.

Obi Mikel hasn't always seen eye-to-eye with Nigeria management, but insists: "I just try to maneuver. Whenever I play for my club, I play as a holding midfield player and when I play for the Eagles I play as an offensive midfielder. But I think I am mature enough to cope with the two positions.

"Whatever the manager ask me to do I will do it and hopefully I will give my best to my nation to make sure we get the three points on Sunday and put ourselves in a good position to qualify for the World Cup."
