Inter Milan line up summer swoop for Chelsea midfielder

The San Siro club, who were taken over by Indonesian businessman Erick Thohir earlier this season, want to strengthen their midfield and believe they may be able to land Mikel, 26.

The Nigeria international, who has been at Stamford Bridge since 2006, has seen competition for his central-midfield berth increase.

The arrivals of Marco van Ginkel and Nemanja Matic, in addition to the continued presence of Frank Lampard and Ramires, means Mikel has only managed only nine league starts.

Sources in Italy claim Chelsea have slapped a ÂŁ12.5m price tag on the anchorman, while Inter are hoping they can negotiate a cheaper price.

Mikel has won a glut of silverware during his time in west London, including one Premier League title, four FA Cups, one League Cup, the Champions League and the Europa League.
