The 28-year-old, however, has a little over a year to run on his current contract at Stamford Bridge, but the club are pondering extending his spell following his re-emergence as a key member of the starting XI.

 

Of all players still at the club, only John Terry (90%) has a better pass success rate than Mikel (89.3%) in the Premier League this season.
