John Obi Mikel set for China move

Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel looks set to be the latest big name to make the mega-money move to China.

The Chelsea midfielder will reportedly complete his medical at Tianjin TEDA on Thursday after agreeing a deal to earn a whopping £140,000-a-week.

Mikel, who hasn’t even made the bench at Stamford Bridge this season, looked set to join Valencia having turned his back on the Chinese Super League.

But according to the Daily Mail, the 29-year-old has had a change of heart after a three-year deal was put on the table.

He will join the likes of former team-mate Oscar, who made a £60m switch to Shanghai SIPG this month, and Carlos Tevez who became the world’s highest paid player after completing his China move.
