Aug 17 (Reuters) - Stoke City have signed former Nigeria and
Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel on a free transfer, the second
tier Championship club said on Monday.
Mikel returns to English football having left Turkish side
Trabzonspor by mutual consent in March. The 33-year-old spent 11
seasons at Chelsea, helping the London side win two league
titles, three FA Cups and the Champions League.
"We're delighted to bring John to the club," Stoke manager
Michael O'Neill said in a statement https://www.stokecityfc.com/news/2020/august/Obi-Mikel-completes-switch.
"His playing career speaks for itself and underlines his
calibre as a player.
"I was really impressed with him when we met for the first
time and he outlined what he wants from the next phase of his
career."
Stoke finished 15th in the Championship last season.
