Super Eagles skipper, John Mikel Obi, has joined millions of Chelsea fans to welcome Brazilian defender, David Luiz, back to the club from Paris Saint-Germain.
Luiz, 29, who coincidentally is birthday mate with the Nigerian, returned to Stamford Bridge on transfer deadline day after spending the last two seasons in France.
While he’s been away from Chelsea for most of the summer on Olympics duty with Nigeria (and winning bronze), Mikel’s still got the pulse of the squad and using his new-found love of Twitter, welcomed Sideshow Dave back to Chelsea, and reminded him to play nice with Diego Costa.

Just as he had clashed a bit with John Terry before joining Chelsea, Diego and David Luiz had their fun while facing each other in various combinations of the colours of Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, and PSG.
However, now they’re teammates, after narrowly missing each other in the 2014 transfer window when Luiz left and Costa arrived.
Mikel is currently with the Nigeria squad as they prepare to face Tanzania in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
