Chelsea Football Club have confirmed they are waiting to sign John Obi Mikel.
The Nigerian teenager signed for Manchester United from Lyn Oslo last year, yet he claims he was bullied into agreeing the deal and prefers a move to Stamford Bridge.
Mikel is now the subject of a legal wrangle that threatens to drag on into the summer, yet Blues chairman Bruce Buck has made it clear the Londoners are still very much in the hunt.
"The situation is fluid at the moment," Buck told Sky Sports. "There is a lawsuit pending in Norway that we are not party to. There is a Fifa investigation which is in abeyance, pending what happens.
"I would say, if the boy becomes available, he's someone we're very interested in and someone we'd like to talk to. We're dealing with it in the way we think is right."
