The former Super Eagles forward made a bold comparison between the former Chelsea player and the two Croatia midfielders ahead of the World Cup
John Obi Mikel and Croatia's Lukas Modric and Ivan Rakitic are on the same level, according to former Super Eagles head coach, Samson Siasia.
The Super Eagles face the Europeans on June 16 for their opening Group D fixture at the Kaliningrad Stadium - with the former Chelsea man expected to lead Gernot Rohr's men.
Regardless of Modric’s impact in Real Madrid and Rakitic’s displays for Barcelona this season, the Siasia is confident that the Tianjin Teda midfielder can match rival European stars in Russia.
