John Mikel Obi To Earn N70M/Week In Chinese Club

John Mikel Obi who is off to China to sign a multi-million deal playing for the Chinese club would be earning N70m per week

Mikel has spent 10 years with Chelsea since moving from Nowergian club, Lyn in a protracted transfer saga but has recently struggled to find playing time under Chelsea coach, Antonio Conte.

In a statement he released this morning, Mikel said, ‘As you will know, I haven’t featured as much this season as I would have liked, and at 29 I still have many years in the game ahead of me. With this in mind, I feel now is the time to seek a new challenge. I’m delighted to be joining Tianjin TEDA FC in China, at a time that the Chinese Super League is really taking off, and I look forward to helping Tianjin TEDA FC continue to grow both on and off the pitch in the next few years.’

Mikel will join other players such as his former Chelsea teammate, Oscar, and other former Premier League players like Graziano Pelle and Tevez in moving to Chinese League which is attracting top players with over the top wages 

The Chinese people wants to stand out and build a strong team since when they have been buying players in english and Spanish league.
