John Obi Mikel has emerged on the radar of French club Monaco according to the Daily Mail.
The Chelsea midfielder is expected to depart Stamford Bridge this summer and has attracted interest from Turkish clubs Galatasaray and Trabzonspor.
But it is believed the big-spending France outfit are looking to thwart Gala's move for Mikel which would have had him reunited with ex-Blues teammate Didier Drogba.
