John Mikel Obi admits it has 'truly been an honour' to play for Chelsea as the Nigerian midfielder penned an open farewell to fans after bringing his 10-year stay at the club to an end.

The 29-year-old departed the club on Thursday after sealing a move to Chinese Super League outfit Tianjin TEDA.

A picture was shared on Chinese website Webo of Mikel shaking hands with a Tianjin club official and holding the club's shirt as he became the latest Premier League player to move to the far east.
