Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi has been handed a free role in Chelsea’s midfield by Antonio Conte.
The U-23 captain has been subjected to a defensive role all through his career at Stamford Bridge but plays in a more advanced role for the national team.
However a close source to the player disclosed that Conte had discussed with Mikel about handing him a similar role as the Super Eagles.
“Mikel and Conte had a chat about his role in the team, although he has been assured he will be played in the role that suits him the more by the manager. “He is also ready to fill in anywhere he is needed for the team”, a source close to the player said.
With the new development, the chances of the Nigerian getting more playing time at the London club has increased because N’Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic have been playing defensive midfield roles. The 29-year-old was in superb form at the just concluded Rio Olympics where he played as a box-to-box midfielder under the tutelage of coach Samson Siasia.
