John Mikel Obi Set For Middlesbrough Departure

Middlesbrough have confirmed that Super Eagles captain John Mikel Obi will leave the club this summer.

The club, which failed to gain promotion to the English Premier League, decided against offering Mikel Obi a new contract.

Mikel Obi joined Boro on a short-term deal in January transfer window, after leaving Chinese club Tianjin TEDA.

He made 18 appearances in the Sky Bet Championship, scoring his only goal for the club on the final day of the season against Rotherham United.
