Super Eagles Captain and former Chelsea star John Obi Mikel left the Premier League two years ago but could make a shock return with Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace.

When John Obi Mikel left Chelsea to
join Tianjin TEDA two years ago, few would have expected that we’d ever
see him in the Premier League again.

But, according to TEAMtalk, a
shock return to England is on the cards for a player who is still only
31 years of age. It is understood that up to six Premier League clubs
are interested in signing Mikel and one of those is Crystal Palace.

It
is no secret that Roy Hodgson wants to enhance his
relegation-threatened squad and Mikel would add experience and class at
the heart of his midfield.

The Nigeria international might never
have been one of Chelsea’s most heralded players but it speaks volumes
that he played for The Blues for a decade, winning two Premier League
titles, three FA Cups and the 2012 Champions League.

Now, money
is tight at Selhurst Park but Mikel is a free agent, having left Tianjin
recently. This should only make him an even more viable target.

Interestingly,
the former Lyn Oslo midfielder is one of a number of Chelsea-linked
players to have been mentioned in conjunction with a move to Crystal
Palace this month.
