Mazzarri coy on Mikel reports

Walter Mazzarri has not ruled out an Inter Milan move for Jon Obi Mikel during this summer's transfer window.

The Chelsea midfielder has been linked with a move to the San Siro amid speculation that Jose Mourinho is planning a clearout at Stamford Bridge before the start of next season.

The Inter coach told reporters: "What Inter need on the market? It takes a player with the features of Luiz Gustavo, a player like a few ones in the world.

"I fear that he is unattainable for us. Obi Mikel? I don't want to name too many names. I said Luis Gustavo as an example."

Mazzarri also confirmed that he expects to remain in charge of the club next season after leading to the team to a fifth-place finish in Serie A.
