I Had An Amazing Career – Mikel Obi Reflects On Spell At Chelsea

John Mikel Obi, a former Super Eagles captain, has reflected on his successful stint at Chelsea.

Mikel was on the books of the Premier League giants for 11 years.

The 37-year-old won multiple titles including two Premier League titles, four FA Cups, one Champions League and one UEFA Europa League.

Mikel’s move to Stamford Bridge was held up for around one year following a transfer tussle involving Chelsea and Manchester United.

The issue was later resolved with the midfielder joining Chelsea in a deal worth £16m in June 2006.

Mikel reflected on the infamous transfer saga between the two clubs.

“It was a massive relief. Obviously, it was going on for almost a year, I couldn’t play for any club because of the whole saga,”
he told the obionepodcast.

“But after that was settled, it was a massive relief for me and I joined the club that I really wanted to play for, which was Chelsea. And I just couldn’t wait to be unveiled as a Chelsea player, because it was taking such a long time to get settled.

“But after that was done, you know, I was happy to be here. Amazing career. Had won everything to be won. And my memory here is absolutely fantastic. I will never, never trade it for anything.”
