Super Eagles captain, Mikel John Obi has left Chelsea to join other stars moving to the Chinese league by signing with Super League side Tianjin TADA.
The 29year-old who has not played a single match for the Blues this season is expected to be paid £140,000 per week by the club.
He was signed from Lyn Oslo of Norway by Chelsea in 2006 after his magnificent display at the 2005 U-20 World Cup in Netherlands.
Mikel played 374 games and won 11 titles with Chelsea. The titles are 1 UEFA Champions League, 1 UEFA Europa League, 2 Premier Leagues, 4 FA Cups, 2 League Cups and 1 Community Shield.
His contributions to the team where he played under different managers cannot be undermined. He did wrote a letter to the fans after the announcement of his departure from the Stamford Bridge outfit.
Best of luck to him as he takes this next step of his career.
