John Mikel Obi
John Obi Mikel has signed a new five-year contract with Chelsea which will keep him at the club until 2017.
Mikel, 25, joined the Blues in 2006 and has made 261 appearances, scoring two goals, as a defensive midfielder.
“Chelsea seems like my home now because I
have been here for over six years and I enjoy my time here. I come into
the training ground every day to work and I value my time there. I am
happy and want to keep going and win trophies for this club,” the
Nigeria international said.
“I have basically won everything with
Chelsea and those years have been really special for me, winning
trophies with big names like Didier Drogba, John Terry and Frank Lampard
who have had very long Chelsea careers.
“Winning the Champions League last
season was even more special… and I hope these next five years will
bring even more success and I can win trophies with the new players we
have here.
“Being 25 I think I am now hitting my
peak but as a player you want to improve every day and there is still
room for that. I want to learn from the players and the manager and I
just want to keep going.”
Mikel has won four FA Cup medals, one
Premier League title, a Carling Cup and last season’s Champions League
at the West London club.
