CONFIRMED: John Obi Mikel leaves Chelsea for Chinese Super League side Tianjin TEDA

John Obi Mikel has become the latest high-profile player to make the move to the Chinese Super League.

The midfielder confirmed on Friday morning that he has agreed a deal to join Tianjin TEDA from Chelsea.

Mikel has spent more than a decade at Stamford Bridge, winning two Premier League titles, the Champions League and four FA Cups with the London club.

But he hasn't played a minute this season following the arrival of Antonio Conte as manager, with his last appearance for the Blues against Liverpool in May.
