to be in the possession of the passport,” a representative of the Super
Eagles star told SL10.ng.
“That’s very good news because he will no longer be counted as a foreign player in the Chelsea squad.
“All the obstacles that would have prevented him playing in Europe have been eliminated, especially in Italy.
“Mikel is not leaving Chelsea in the January transfer window. He will only think about his future at the end of this season.”
