JOHN Mikel has informed that he can't wait to play against Paul Pogba in the English Premier League ties between Chelsea and Manchester United, reports NaijaSportsXtra.blogspot.com.
The Nigerian who's leading his country's football team in the Rio Olympics men's football even said on his twitter handle on Friday after sharing a video of himself nutmegging the Frenchman with an audacious back heel in France's 2-0 elimination of Nigeria in the last-16 of the World Cup in 2014.
The midfielder said @mikel_john_obi:"Welcome back to the @premierleague @paulpogba - looking forward to facing you again my friend 😉 🚕 ☠ #EPL."
Recall, the ex-Old Lady scored one of the two goals that sent late Coach Stephen Keshi and his team packing from Brazil.
Pogba recently moved back to Manchester United from Juventus for a world-record £100million.
The Frenchman will not feature in his team's opening Premier League fixture against Bournemouth due to a suspension carried over from last season with Turin giants.
