John Mikel Obi has become the latest ex-Premier League star to move to the Chinese Super League after his transfer to Tianjin TEDA was confirmed on social media.

A picture was shared on Chinese website Webo of former Chelsea midfielder Mikel shaking hands with a Tianjin club official and holding the club's shirt.

Mikel, who had been frozen out of Chelsea's first team this season with N'Golo Kante, Nemanja Matic, Nathaniel Chalobah and Cesc Fabregas ahead in the pecking roder, will reportedly earn £140,000 a week.

The 29-year-old underwent a medical on Thursday as he prepared to become the second player to swap West London for the Far East, following Oscar who has signed for Shanghai SIPG.

The Nigerian international had held talks with Valencia, while Marseille and Inter Milan also showed interest.

Mikel spent 11 years at Stamford Bridge after controversially joining Chelsea, despite appearing at a Manchester United press conference and posing with a United shirt with his name on it.

He is understood to have signed a three-year deal, after a successful spell in England, winning the Champions League, two Premier League titles and four FA Cups.

He played in pre-season with Chelsea last summer but then left the squad to win an Olympic bronze medal with Nigeria in Rio and has not found a way back into Conte's plans since.

The wage is just too small joor!

Comparing Oscar on a £400,000 weekly pay and Tevez on a weekly pay of £615,000.
That amount seems to be too small for Mikel.

Well, £140,000 weekly pay is not bad for a pensioner.

This one is not a surprise. Mikel has never been ambitious or the type to want to improve as a footballer, I doubt it if his wages was ever increased through out his lengthy stay in Chelsea cos when you don't improve you won't have the courage to ask for an increase and the club in turn will just extend your contract so as to have you on the bench incase something goes wrong with the favorites, like what happened in 2012 champions League final when Ramires, Meireles, Terry, and Ivanovic were all suspended for the match. I don't hate you but you were once second to Lionel Messi. Even the Chinese are offering to pay you 140k per week. That's the Lowest I have heard of, of all the players who moved from Europe to the Far East

He finally went to China? A Chinese friend told me this couple of days ago but I couldn't believe him. Well, it's time to make money anyway.

Good luck Mikel!
