Mikel: "I do not want to stay, Mourinho wants me to stay"

Super Eagles midfielder John Obi Mikel has decided to stay at Chelsea for the 2015/2016 season as Jose Mourinho has refused to let him move away from Stamford bridge.

Fenerbache had been linked with a £10m bid but the 28-year old insists he doesn't have plans to go anywhere for now.

“I have two years left on my contract here and want to see them out. I am happy here and we will see what happens. I want to stay, the manager wants me to stay so I don’t have any issues.

“The manager has told me he wants to stay. He said that and I’m pretty happy to stay.

“This is going to be my tenth season at the club, next year it will be my 11. I have been here so long due to the contracts I have signed and I like to be somewhere where I have developed friendships."
