Mikel closes on an exit:
The veteran midfielder has been at the club for some time now but Antonio Conte, the current manager at the Bridge, does not look at him as a viable option and has almost got rid of him.
The 29-year old Nigerian international is now having a medical ahead of a move away from Chelsea to China, to play for Tianjin TEDA, a CSL side, for a weekly wage of £140,000. Valencia, Marseille and Inter Milan were interested in his signature but Chelsea have now accepted the offer from the Asian outfit and ready to let him go. (Daily Mail)
