AI explanation
John Obi Mikel's transfer to Chelsea in 2006 was signed from Lyn Oslo, the Norwegian club he had moved to from Nigerian side Plateau United. The transfer was highly controversial because Manchester United claimed he had already agreed to join them, leading to a legal dispute that Chelsea ultimately won (paying compensation to both Lyn and Man United). Lyon, Lille OSC, and Marseille are French clubs unrelated to his actual transfer route.
