Napoli lining up move for Chelsea's John Obi Mikel
NAPOLI are ready to make their move for John Obi Mikel before the window closes.
The Blues have gone about their business without much fanfare this window bringing in the likes of Marco van Ginkel and Andre Schurrle.
Obi Mikel was predominantly used as a substitute last season, but he has caught the attention of Napoli.
Last season's runners-up according to reports in Italy, are looking at a loan deal with an option to buy.
That wouldn't pose a problem for Napoli as Obi Mikel has an English passport.
Napoli have still made Liverpool's Martin Skrtel a top target this summer.
Obi Mikel has spent seven years at Stamford Bridge.
