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.
