Chelsea Roundup: Blues agree deal for striker; Conte set for transfer talks with PL midfielder

Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel is set for showdown talks with the new manager Antonio Conte regarding his future at the club.

The Nigerian defensive midfielder has been a bit part player for the Blues ever since he joined them and is keen on getting some first team action at this stage of his career.

Mikel has previously confirmed that he will leave the club if the new manager fails to provide assurances of regular first team football.

Latest reports claim that Mikel will arrange for talks with Conte after Italy’s Euro 2016 campaign is over.
