John Obi Mikel reveals fascinating insights on two ex-Chelsea teammates CFC
Karius set for Newcastle debut in Carabao Cup final after Pope sent off in Liverpool lossArsenal and Aston Villa staff clash in the stands and Arteta promises to 'take action'Aston Villa 2-4 Arsenal LIVE REACTION: Gunners claim 'monumental' win in title race5Salah would go on to make just 13 Premier League appearances for Chelsea before moving to Italy to play for Fiorentina and AS Roma, then returning to England under Liverpool’s colours where he has become a huge success.
In 286 appearances, the Egyptian has scored 174, assisted 70 and won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.But he is not the only one that got away, and De Bruyne was another on Chelsea’s books, though Mikel delved into what the Belgian maestro was like as a youngster. “Kevin was always a stroppy guy, he was always on his own, he was always moody, he was always grumpy,” he added.“You could never get anything out of him. But now when I watch him play… what a joy.”De Bruyne had a similar exit plan to Salah in that he was loaned out before joining a team permanently, this time Werder Bremen and then Wolfsburg.
A Premier League super club then came in for the playmaker as City snapped him up just a year after he left Chelsea for good, and he has since forged a legacy at the Etihad as one of their best-ever players. In 337 appearances for City, De Bruyne has scored 90 times and assisted 139 goals, winning four Premier League titles along the way.18+ New customers only.
