Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has revealed he is pleased with Mikel’s work-rate, dismissing talks of an imminent exit for the midfielder.
The Nigerian skipper has not been able to nail an appearance under Conte this season, and sparked suggestions he might be leaving to the Blues in January since he is in the last year of his contract.
However, the Italian boss has said he is pleased with the work-rate of the 29-year-old midfielder.
He said: ‘It’s normal in every squad there are players that arrive at the end of their contract and then together with the club take a decision.
‘For me the most important thing is that Mikel is working very well now, because in the past he had some injuries. Now he is working very hard and I’m pleased with his work-rate.’
Despite being unhappy to be nail a place in the Chelsea starting line-up, Mikel has been impressive for the Super Eagles, leading them to back to back victories.
