Galatasaray offer contract to Chelsea midfielder Obi Mikel

Galatasaray are chasing Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel.

The Daily Express says Galatasaray have offered Mikel, 26, a four-year deal worth about £13m to join his former Champions League-winning team-mate Didier Drogba in Turkey - and he is understood to be keen.

Chelsea are keen to recoup the full £16m paid out to prise Mikel from Lyn Oslo, hijacking a move to Manchester United in 2006 during Mourinho's first spell in charge.
