Kuwaiti Premier League club Al Kuwait SC have announced the signing of John Obi Mikel from Championship side Stoke City.
The Brigadiers disclosed that the former Chelsea and Trabzonspor star has penned a one-year contract that will keep him at the club for the 2021-22 season.
Mikel’s signing comes as reinforcement for Al Kuwait who finished third in the Premier League last season behind Al-Qadsia and leaders Al-Arabi.
He won’t be the only African star at the Al Kuwait Sports Club Stadium as he joins Morocco’s El-Mehdi Barrahma, Tunisia duo Ahmed Akaichi and Rami Bedoui, and Mali’s Abdulwahid Sissoko in the Brigadiers’ line-up.
The 34-year-old Mikel marshalled roles for Nigeria on several occasions before his retirement in 2019.
He was part of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winning squad and he also helped the country win bronze at the 2006, 2010 and 2019 editions. (Goal)
