The transfer of John Obi Mikel to Chelsea was one of the most controversial in recent years, and it appears it isn't over yet!
Mikel signed for manchester United from Lyn Oslo, but suddenly changed his mind, in the end we were paid ₤12 million by Chelsea and Mikel then signed for the London club whilst United forfeited any claim to his signature.
Now a court case in Norway against ex-Lyn Oslo Director Morgan Anderson, could mean we'd lose out on the player AND the money.
Lyn Oslo claim they owned Mikel's rights, while Chelsea insist a private agreement had been agreed that would send the Nigerian wonderkid to Stamford Bridge.
Anderson is accused of forging the player's contract and if a guilty verdict is reached, the prosecution could attempt to cancel the settlement reached between the two Premiership rivals, leaving us with a ₤12 million bill to pay.
A guilty verdict would lay the blame flatly at Anderson's door, so why should we have to pay back this money?
