Mikel John Obi has expressed his relief that his dream move to Chelsea has finally become a reality.
He caused quite a stir when he signed for Manchester United only to controversially change his mind and move to Stamford Bridge. The long-running saga will cost billionaire Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich £16million, with United getting £12million and Norwegian side Lyn Oslo landing £4million.
"I am very, very happy to be here because I have been away from football for the last couple of months," Said the Nigerian star. "I am happy that I can now play. It´s good to be here with my friends. I really like it."
