John Obi Mikel has penned a heartfelt letter to Chelsea fans after ending a decade at the London club as he prepares for a move to Chinese Super League side Tianjin TEDA.

The 29-year-old Nigerian international is set to put pen to paper on a £140,000-per-week contract with the Chinese club after failing to impress new Blues boss Antonio Conte.
