Former Super Eagles and Chelsea midfielder, John Obi Mikel, has sent out a word of advice to Copa America 2024 winner, Enzo Fernandez after the viral racist incident, Soccernet.ng reports.
Chelsea signed Enzo Fernandez in a deal worth £106.8 million after a final agreement with Benfica was reached on the final day of the 2023 winter transfer window. He signed an eight-and-a-half-year contract, valid until 2031.
He went on to play five games in Argentinas Copa America triumph. Still, things got sour after the 23-year-old made racist remarks to French players of African descent alongside his national teammates on the bus during their celebrations.
Listen, spread the word, they play in France, but they are all from Angola, they are going to run well, they like to sleep with trans people, their mum is Nigerian, and their dad is Cameroonian, but on the passport it says French, the ex-Benfica man sang.
This has led to an uproar in the Chelsea dressing room, with players in the song bracket unfollowing the Argentine on social media.
