John Obi Mikel to join Al Ain

24 June 2015 - 09:08

Nigerian international John Obi Mikel is expected to end his nine-year association with Chelsea this summer.

  • Arsenal make surprise decision on Viktor Gyokeres
  • Arsenal to battle Napoli to sign Alexsandro Ribeiro?

  • Mikel has struggled to cement a place in the first-team ever since the arrival of Nemanja Matic from Benfica.

    According to The Telegraph, the midfield enforcer is ready to call quits to his Blues career for a switch to United Arab Emirates with Al Ain.

    The 28-year-old made just five league starts for the West London giants last season, as he fell behind the likes of Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic in the pecking order.
