Chelsea have reached an out-of-court agreement with Norwegian club
Lyn Oslo in their dispute over the transfer of John Mikel Obi.
The Blues issued a High Court claim against Lyn and their former
chief executive Morgan Andersen in October in an effort to recoup
the £16 million transfer fee they paid for the Nigerian, who had
seemingly been contracted to Manchester United as well in a highly
complicated deal.
Chelsea ended up paying £12 million to United and £4m to Lyn but
claimed the transfer was based on the "fraudulent misrepresentation
that Mikel had an employment contract with Lyn".
A short statement on the club's website confirmed the matter
relating to Lyn had been resolved out of court but figures were not
revealed.
It read: "Chelsea Football Club and FC Lyn Oslo have resolved
all matters between the two clubs with regard to John Mikel
Obi.
"The terms of the agreement will remain confidential. There will
be no further comment."
Chelsea decided to take the matter to court after Andersen was
convicted in Norway of forging documents relating to the player in
2005. He was given a one-year suspended sentence when the court
case concluded this year.
