Super Eagles Player John Mikel Obi
has completed his move to the Chinese Super League after his transfer to
Tianjin TEDA was confirmed.
A picture was shared on Chinese
website Webo of former Chelsea midfielder Mikel shaking hands with a Tianjin
club official and holding the club’s shirt.
Mikel, who had been kept out of
Chelsea’s first team this season with N’Golo Kante, Nemanja Matic, Nathaniel
Chalobah and Cesc Fabregas ahead in the pecking roder, will reportedly earn
£140,000 a week.
The 29-year-old underwent a medical
on Thursday as he prepared to become the second player to swap West London for
the Far East, following Oscar who has signed for Shanghai SIPG.
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.
