Chelsea midfielder Jon Obi Mikel has shockingly announced that he will leave the club in January.

​His contract at the club expires at the end of this season and he is allowed to talk to other clubs at the beginning of next year.

​The Nigerian is yet to feature in the Premier League under new manager Antonio Conte which has made it clear that his time is up at Stamford Bridge.

​Mikel told Goal: “When you have a year left, in January you are allowed to talk to other clubs and sign a pre-contract or have an agreement so, yes, I will talk to other clubs because you never know what is going to happen.

“If it is going to be the Premier League there will be options. If it is China or some other places, we will see. One thing is for sure, I will make the best decision.

“I’ve been here for a long, long time. I’ve spent 11 years of my life in this football club, it is my home. This season is the last at the club if my contract ends. I am quite relaxed about it, the future looks good.”
