Teenager Mikel joined Chelsea in June last year
|
Norwegian police say they are investigating the transfer of Nigerian midfielder Mikel Jon Obi to Chelsea.
The 19-year-old joined the Blues from Lyn Oslo in June 2006, after initially agreeing to sign for Manchester United.
"The case is about document forgery and that is serious," said Oslo police attorney Paal Hernaes.
Mikel agreed to join United in April 2005 but later said he had been pressurised into signing for the club and agreed to move to the Blues.
In June, Chelsea announced they had reached a financial settlement with United and Lyn under which they would pay United £12m and the Norwegian club £4m.
The police expect to complete their investigation by early April.
