It is now Official that Super Eagles of Nigeria captain John Mikel Obi is the latest player to join the exodus to Chinese Super League as he has signed for Chinese club, CSL Tianjin TEDA, in a £140,000/week deal.
29-year-old Mikel left Chelsea FC on a free transfer after seeing being relegated to the bench by New coach Antonio Conte, who preferred the likes of N'Golo Kante, Nemanja Matic, Nathaniel Chalobah and Cesc Fabregas ahead of him in the pecking order.
Mikel spent 11 years at Stamford Bridge after controversially joining Chelsea, despite appearing at a Manchester United press conference and posing with a United shirt with his name on it. During his time at Chelsea he has 372 appearances and scored only 6 goals with winning the English Premier League, UEFA champions league, FA Cup and the Europa League Cup
