Mikel gives Pogba cheeky EPL welcome

The Nigeria captain welcomed the new record signing to the Premier League in spectacular fashion With Paul Pogba's world record transfer from Juventus to Manchester United complete, a number of footballers have welcomed him to the Premier League, and John Mikel Obi has joined that growing number of players.

The Chelsea midfielder sent the France star a cheeky reminder of who's boss on Friday.

Nigeria faced Pogba's France in the second round of the 2014 Fifa World Cup Brazil where Les Bleus won 2-0 to advance, with the Frenchman scoring one of the goals.

Mikel, however, welcomed his fellow midfielder with a moment of personal triumph when he nutmegged the new Manchester United player, writing on Twitter:
"Welcome back to the Premier League Paul Pogba - looking forward to facing you again my friend."

Welcome back to the @premierleague @paulpogba- looking forward to facing you again my friend
