Mikel Annoyed By Wedding Rumours

Nigeria midfielder John Mikel Obi is bristling at reports that he's about to get married to model Sandra Okugbue.

A National tabloid reported on Monday that Mikel was set to wed the former Delta Soap Model, but the midfielder angrily dismissed the claims.

"I don't understand where this is coming from", Mikel told Kickoffnigeria.com on Monday. "I know her, We are friends but we haven't spoken in a long time and definitely not about marriage."

The report claimed that the traditional introduction has been secheduled for this Sunday March 31 in Onitsha, but Mikel was firmly categorical in his dismissal. "There is nothing like that" he said.
