Even though he's scored just one goal throughout his over 250 games for Chelsea, the club is looking to offer Nigerian midfielder John Obi Mikel a new five-year contract.

It is worthy of note that 25 year-old Mikel who's in the seventh season and final 12 months of his current contract has won trophies including the Premier League, four FA Cups, the League Cup and the Champions League.

While speaking to ESPN, his agent, John Shittu claims he's likely to pen a new contract "Mikel will soon sign a new five-year contract with an improved salary and we are just about finalising the details of it.

Mikel is one of Chelsea's most consistent performers and the club agrees with us he deserves a new and improved contract.

He has a year left and Chelsea have decided to add four more years to it."
