‘I will never trade it for anything’ — MIKEL OBI says about his career at Chelsea

Friday, August 9, 2024 - Former Chelsea midfielder John Mikel Obi has talked up his successful spell at Premier League giants.

Mikel spent 11 years at Stamford Bridge winning multiple titles, including two Premier League titles, four FA Cups, one Champions League and one UEFA Europa League.

Prior to his arrival at Chelsea, the former midfielder was inactive for around a year due to the transfer struggle between the Blues and Manchester United.

The midfielder later moved to Chelsea on June 2, 2006.

“It was a massive relief. Obviously, it was going on for a year almost, I couldn’t play for any club because of the whole saga,” he told the obionepodcast.

“But after that was settled, it was a massive relief for me and I joined the club that I really wanted to play for, which was Chelsea. And I just couldn’t wait to be unveiled as a Chelsea player, because it was taking such a long time to get settled.

“But after that was done, you know, I was happy to be here. Amazing career. Had won everything to be to be won. And my memory here is absolutely fantastic. I will never, never trade it for anything.”
