Former Chelsea midfield legend John Obi Mikel has made a blunt and bold statement regarding a current out-of-favour player at Stamford Bridge — and his message leaves no room for doubt.
🗣️ “This is not working. It’s time to pack this up and let him move on. His presence at Stamford Bridge is just a waste of his time — and the club’s.”
💣 Mikel’s powerful words come as Enzo Maresca prepares to rebuild the squad for his debut season in charge. With a number of players uncertain of their future, this particular star — whose name has not yet been publicly confirmed — is now firmly under the spotlight.
🔻 Key Points:
Mikel suggests that keeping the player would hinder the squad’s progression.
The identity of the player is believed to be someone who once arrived with high expectations but has since failed to cement his place.
There’s growing belief inside Cobham that a fresh start elsewhere could reignite his career.
💔 Fans are split — many still believe the player has untapped potential, but others agree with Mikel’s sentiment that it’s time to move on for the good of both sides.
⚠️ With Maresca looking to stamp his authority and create space for rising stars and new signings, this could be the first major departure of the new Chelsea era.
Will Chelsea listen to Mikel’s advice? Or is there still a path to redemption for
the outcast? 🕊️💭
