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.
“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.
