Trabzonspor standstill as Mikel arrives

By Sampson Adedeji

Former Nigeria's Super Eagles midfielder and captain John Mikel Obi arrived Trabzonspor on Monday with vociferous crowd waiting to catch the glimpse of their newly acquired midfielder .

The former Chelsea player signed for the Turkish Super Lig side Trabzonspor just before the start of just concluded 2019 African Cup of Nations on a 2 year deal.

Mikel spent last season on loan with English Championship side Middlesbrough but refused to sign an extension with the club.

Trabzonspor agreed a 2-year deal with the midfielder as the club hope to make meaningful progress in the domestic and continental scene.

With Mikel joining the club, it means three Nigeria players are on the pay roll of the club with the duo of Ogenyi Onazi and Anthony Nwakaeme already with the team.
