Chelsea midfielder Mikel Obi seems to be desperate to erase the major blemish in his profile. In the past few weeks, Mikel has demonstrated the desire to score, joining the attack severally especially during set pieces.
In 251 appearances for Chelsea since 2006, Mikel has only scored twice
and in fact, the two goals were scored in the FA Cup in his first year
at the club.
Since playing his first match for the Super Eagles in a friendly match against Libya in 2005, Mikel has only scored three times.
The first was against Zimbabwe in the 2006 Nations Cup, the second
followed two years later against Benin Republic in the 2008 edition
while the final one did not come until four years after, a penalty that
contributed to the 6-1 defeat of toothless Liberia in the final 2013
Nations Cup qualifier last month.
