Chelsea news: Where has it gone wrong for John Mikel Obi?

John Mikel Obi looks to be on his way out of Chelsea.

The Nigerian midfielder, 29, is the second-longest serving player at Stamford Bridge but has found himself frozen out — and with his contract expiring, no fresh talks are planned.

Antonio Conte has not picked Mikel in a matchday squad and having been first choice under just six months ago, the Nigerian is now as low as sixth or seventh in his midfield pecking order.
