Lyn Oslo have played down suggestions they will have to
refund Chelsea the money they received for John Obi
Mikel.
According to reports in Norway, Oslo police have decided to
prosecute former Lyn director Morgan Anderson for forging Mikel's
contract in April 2005.
It is claimed that Mikel never personally signed a professional
contract with Lyn after he turned 18, meaning the club had no right
to sell a player they did not own.
Reports suggest that if Anderson is convicted Lyn could have to pay
Chelsea the £16million they took for him last summer, but chairman
Sveinung Lunde does not think it will go that far.
"I have no reason to believe that," he told the Norwegian
press.
"As I understand it, it is a matter between Morgan Anderson and the
police."
Anderson's lawyer, meanwhile, has said that his client was not the
man responsible.
"We have seen an explanation which is very strange," Cato Schiotz
told Dagbladet.
"It might seem like someone has forged the contract."
