John Obi Mikel has said that his current club, Tianjin Teda will be his final bus stop in football, if all things go on well with him in China. Mikel signed a three-year deal with the Chinese Super League club.
“Of course, I want to stay in a team for a long time, I left Chelsea after eleven years, I hope to stay in TEDA for a long time, not one or two seasons, “ Mikel was quoted as saying. “If the club will not let me go, I hope to stay until the end of my career, TEDA will be my last stop.”
He scored his first goal for his new club in their 6-2 loss to German side St. Pauli yesterday. Mikel made his debut for Tianjin TEDA on Wednesday, in their 2-1 friendly defeat to Borussia Mönchengladbach U23 at the Tianjin Olympic Center Stadium.
