Nigerian music star Mr Eazi revealed in a radio interview that Chelsea once considered signing him alongside John Obi Mikel, jokingly claiming he stepped aside to pursue music and let Mikel shine in West London.
Nigerian singer Mr Eazi has claimed that Chelsea once considered signing him before the Premier League club eventually secured the services of former Super Eagles midfielder John Obi Mikel.
The singer made the claim during an interview with Beat FM, where he recalled an alleged opportunity to join the English club around the time Mikel was also linked with a move there.
According to Mr Eazi, he chose to pursue music instead, believing he had a better chance of making a career in the industry than Mikel.
