John Obi Mikel
Rumoured Clubs: Galatasary, Napoli
A marmite player for Chelsea fans, he is a veteran of Jose Mourinho’s first spell at the club and it appears that despite interest he has spurned it to compete for his place at the club.
He has been the subject of interest from Turkey and Napoli, which is surprising given how little it seemed the “interim one” liked him last season.
Despite a packed midfield, he is the best option we have in the “Makalele” role and will get game time depending on the tactics being employed.

Given his desire to stay, this one seems unlikely.
Likelihood of leaving: 3/10
