West Ham Join Race For Nigerian Star With 249 Premier League Games Under His Belt
Published: July 06, 2020
West Ham are the latest club being linked with a move for former Nigeria captain John Obi Mikel in the summer transfer window.
According to our colleagues at Tribalfootball.com, the Hammers have opened a line of communication with the ex-Chelsea star about returning to the English Premier League.
With 249 appearances spread across ten seasons during his time with Chelsea, only three Nigerian players who are now inactive - Shola Ameobi, Kanu, Yakubu - have made more appearances than Mikel in the English top-flight.
The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner is free to discuss with other clubs after mutually terminating his contract with Turkish side Trabzonspor four months ago.
The likes of West Brom, Sport Club Internacional and Botafogo have been credited with an interest in Mikel.
The 33-year-old's final decision will depend on whether the team in question is in the Premier League next season.
