Following an £8 million interest from Turkish Giant Bekistas and other suitor’s interested in his services, it could be in Mikel's best interest to remain at Stamford Bridge amid all the speculation.
On this note we highlight some reasons why the Mikel Obi should remain at the club next season.
John Obi Mikel has paid a big price in world football and in Nigeria football at large and it is right for him to reap the fruits and the dividends at the moment.
A player who was converted from attacking midfield position to a defensive midfield player under Coach Jose Mourinho at Chelsea in 2006 have been a long serving player for the club along side John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic and with the aforementioned staying put at the club, it will be nice for Mikel to bury the hatchet and settled down at the club which have fetched him glory in the UEFA Champions league in 2012 and some other trophy with 2015 Premier League crown a worthy of note.
There is need for Mikel to remain at Chelsea alongside Cesc Fabregas, Gary Cahill, William and star player Eden Hazard as his presence around the Chelsea bunch will endear him with massive recognition and possible limelight. A further stay at Chelsea will enable Mikel remain among there elite as the pre-season approaches in earnest.
