Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo Can Dominate Premier League Except Against Manchester City – Mikel Obi
John Mikel Obi, the former captain of the Super Eagles, recently shared his thoughts on his podcast regarding the current Chelsea squad, specifically highlighting Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.
According to Mikel Obi, these two players have the potential to control and dominate any team in the Premier League, with the notable exception of Manchester City.
Mikel Obi’s comments came in response to recent events involving Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca and a controversy surrounding Fernandez.
The situation arose when Fernandez was involved in a racism incident linked to a video celebrating the Copa América victory, where offensive chants about French players were recorded.
Maresca had defended Fernandez, emphasizing the need to manage such issues effectively.
Mikel Obi expressed empathy for Fernandez, suggesting that the controversy has marred what should have been an exciting start to his career at Chelsea.
He stressed the importance of making the most out of Fernandez’s exceptional talent. Alongside Caicedo, Fernandez’s presence in Chelsea’s midfield is seen as a significant strength.
Mikel Obi confidently stated that with these two players in the team, Chelsea could potentially outclass any Premier League opponent, though he admitted that Manchester City remains a formidable challenge.
Turkish football pundit Cem Dizdar has advised Galatasaray to start considering a backup plan for Victor Osimhen’s possible departure.
Dizdar believes Osimhen’s agent might be keeping Galatasaray in the dark about the striker’s next move ahead of the summer transfer window.
Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray on loan from Napoli last September, has been in top form this season, netting 26 goals in 30 matches. His impressive performances have sparked fresh transfer rumours, with Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain reportedly interested in signing him.
Dizdar suggested that Osimhen’s agent’s recent behavior indicates that something is brewing behind the scenes. “When a manager starts talking too much, it means there’s something going on. He’s hiding things from us, but the truth will come out soon,” Dizdar said, as reported by habersarikirmizi.
He added that Galatasaray needs to be prepared for Osimhen’s exit. “Big players like Osimhen fit into top clubs like Galatasaray, but they always need a backup plan. No one expected Osimhen to replace Mauro Icardi, but he did. Now, Galatasaray must think of an alternative.”
Galatasaray player, Victor Osimhen is reportedly available and cleared for the match against Beskitas on Saturday.
The player’s availability was not yet confirmed due to his muscle injury from his last match. However Osimhen has now been cleared to play in the Turkish Super Lig match.
The Nigerian player have set out an impressive record in this elagsu alone with 8 goals. Osimhen is currently leading the Turkish Super Lig with 20 goals from his 22 appearances.
Galatasaray occupies top spot on the Turkish Super Lig table.
The Super Eagles are set to compete in a four-nation tournament in England this June, alongside Ghana’s Black Stars and Jamaica’s Reggae Boys.
Reports from SCORENigeria reveal that the team will head to England after their historic first-ever match against Russia in Moscow.
The tournament will serve as preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and South Africa in September.
The Super Eagles have struggled in the qualifiers so far, managing just one win from six games. Eric Chelle’s team currently sits fourth in Group C with seven points.
