Mikel Obi's Letter To His Chelsea Family As He Joins Chinese Club by Nihza(m): 9:22am On Jan 06, 2017 |
Nigeria midfielder John Obi Mikel has become the latest big name player to join the Chinese Super League gold rush after leaving Chelsea for Tianjin Teda, Reuters reported on Friday. Mikel, who failed to make a single appearance for Antonio Conte’s side this season, had a medical in the port city some 130 kilometres from Beijing on Thursday and the Asian Football Confederation confirmed the deal on Friday. The 29-year-old, who spent more than a decade at Stamford Bridge, was given a free transfer by the London club and will earn £140,000 ($173,432) a week in China, according to local media reports. After joining Chelsea in 2006, Mikel was part of a squad that won a Champions League crown, two Premier League titles and four FA Cups. Chinese clubs have made several high-profile signings over the last month with Argentine striker Carlos Tevez moving to Shanghai Shenhua for a reported €84 million ($87.65 million). Less than a week later, Brazilian midfielder Oscar joined local rivals Shanghai SIPG from Chelsea in a deal believed to be worth €60 million. Here's the letter he wrote; https://mobile.twitter.com/mikel_john_obi/status/817272022409605120?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw http://mojidelano.com/2017/01/breaking-mikel-obi-confirms-move-to-china-pens-heartfelt-letter-to-chelsea-fans/ 10 Likes 2 Shares
