Chelsea’s second longest-serving player, John Mikel Obi has hinted he may leave the Premier League club in the January transfer window.
Mikel, 29, who is in his 10th year in Chelsea, is yet to play a Premier League game this season.
The player who has been frozen out of the squad by Coach Antonio Conte, told BBC World Service Sport on Friday that he would continue to do his best and “we will see what happens in January”.
“I have never been a guy who made excuses in life, I never shy away from my responsibilities.
“I have to keep training hard and make sure I change the manager’s mind. I have been professional, I train and work everyday with the team and I hope one day I will get to play.
“I have written my name in the history of this football club and I have won loads of trophies. I have played close to 400 game and have no single regret.
“I still want to win more and help the team. Players move on in life but I am relaxed about January. I will speak to the club find the best solution.”
