Despite the fact that Mikel claims to be enjoying his time in China, it seems like his heart belongs somewhere else. Mikel, the talented Nigerian midfielder has hinted to the fact that he might return to Chelsea, and that returning to Chelsea is not an impossibility because he still has a good relationship with the club's management.
Hearing this makes me wonder; will Chelsea fans appreciate his return to the club?
Speaking shortly after helping Nigeria secure qualification to the World Cup in Russia, Mikel said he is open to the idea of returning to Chelsea in the future. “I didn’t have the chance to say goodbye on the pitch to the fans who stood by me for over 10 years, that itself is enough motivation for me to want to return “, Mikel said. “I’m very happy in China but then what I have learnt is that in football anything can happen. Chelsea is home to me due to my close relationship with the management of the team but I’m happy in China “.
THIS WAS THE SAME PERSON WHO SAID THAT HE WILL RETIRE AT HIS CURRENT CHINESE CLUB SOME MONTHS BACK
“Of course, I want to stay in a team for a long time, I left Chelsea after eleven years, I hope to stay in TEDA for a long time, not one or two seasons, “ Mikel was quoted as saying by Netease Sports. “If the club will not let me go, I hope to stay until the end of my career, TEDA will be my last stop.” Mikel scored his first goal for his new club in their 6-2 loss to German side St. Pauli yesterday. His goal came off a header from a well delivered free kick, which left the goalkepper of St. Pauli stranded in goal as the ball flew into the net.
