I’ve done it all in Chelsea –Mikel Obi
Nigerian midfielder and Chelsea ace, John Mikel Obi, said he has done it all at Chelsea and has successfully written his name in the history of the club.
The 29-year old, who hasn’t played at all this season in the Antonio Conte’s side, made this known while hinting on the possibility of his transfer from Stamford Bridge come January.
Mikel joined the Blues in 2006 and is their second longest-serving player after captain John Terry. He is however relaxed about his future whether he remains in Chelsea or leaves, and looks back on his career so far as an enriching experience.
“I have been a part of the best years of this club.

“Chelsea never won the Champions League before; I was there, and I was the man of the match in the final.
“I have written my name in the history of this football club, and I have won loads of rophies. I have played close to 400 games and have no single regret. I have done it all. I still want to win more and help the team.
“Players move on in life, but I am relaxed about January. I will speak to the club find the est solution. I could say a lot of things which could put me in trouble, but I would rather be quiet,” Mikel stated.
The English Premier league side is currently at the top of the table,there is little or no reason for Antonio Conte to change his midfield partnership of Nemanja Matic and N’Golo Kanté. Hence it’s apparent that the Nigerian may not phase into the Italian manager’s plans.
