Gyan: John Obi Mikel 'definitely' joining Al Ain

The midfielder has reportedly grown frustrated with a lack first-team opportunities at Chelsea, with the UAE outfit's striker confident terms have been agreed with the player.

Asamoah Gyan says John Obi Mikel will "definitely" be leaving Chelsea for Al Ain this summer, insisting terms over a move have already been agreed.

The midfielder is reported to have grown frustrated at a lack of first-team opportunities at Stamford Bridge, having started less than half of Chelsea's Premier League games last season.

Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas - both signed within the last 18 months - were Jose Mourinho's preferred pairing as Chelsea won the league title, and Mikel now looks to be heading for the exit door.
