Chelsea are weighing up whether to make a £4 million claim against Lyn over their signing of John Obi Mikel.Chelsea are considering the pursuit of a claim against Lyn after it emerged in court that Mikel's first professional contract with the Norwegian club was a forgery.
Morgan Andersen, a former director of Lyn, was found on Wednesday to have falsified the documents relating to Mikel in 2005. He was given a one-year jail sentence, suspended for two years, and ordered to pay costs. He plans to appeal.
Mikel was at the centre of controversy after he agreed to leave Lyn for Manchester United in April 2005 ,only to claim he had been coerced into signing against his will and was determined to join Chelsea. The dispute rumbled on for more than a year until Chelsea paid £16m in compensation - £12m to United, £4m to Lyn - to take the Nigerian to Stamford Bridge.
