Mikel Obi

Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has described as figment of imagination the reports in the local media that he pressured Ahmed Musa and interim coach of the Super Eagles Samson Siasia to be appointed skipper of the national team.

According to the reports, Mikel had allegedly threatened not to honour the African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Egypt if he was not given the armband.
