Nigerian midfielder John Obi Mikel agrees a new five-year contact at Chelsea.

Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has agreed a new five-year contact with the Premier League club.

The 25-year-old has made 261 appearances for the Blues since joining in 2006, collecting four FA Cup medals, one Premier League title, a Carling Cup and a Champions League medal during his time at Stamford Bridge.

He told the club's official website: "Chelsea seems like my home now because I have been here for over six years and I enjoy my time here. I come into the training ground every day to work and I value my time there. I am happy and want to keep going and win trophies for this club.

"I have basically won everything with Chelsea and those years have been really special for me, winning trophies with big names like Didier Drogba, John Terry and Frank Lampard who have had very long Chelsea careers.

"Last season to win the Champions League was even more special, and I hope these next five years will bring even more success and I can win trophies with the new players we have here."

"Being 25 I think I am now hitting my peak but as a player you want to improve every day and there is still room for that. I want to learn from the players and the manager and I just want to keep going."

Mikel famously rejected a last-minute move to Manchester United after reportedly agreeing a transfer to Old Trafford in 2006.
