Championship side Stoke City are reportedly on the verge of signing former Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel who is currently a free agent after leaving the Turkish League.
The African Nations Cup winner left Trabzonspor in March this year and has been looking for another topflight side since then.
And according to the report on BBC, John Obi Mikel and Stoke City have been having discussions over a possible move which is expected to be done next week.
Mikel is not a newcomer in the English football considering how he succeeded while playing for Premier League side Chelsea.
Mikel won two Premier League titles, three FA Cups, the Champions League and Europa League during his 11-year stay at Stamford Bridge.
In the national team, John Obi Mikel played 89 games for the Super Eagles and featured at two World Cups for Nigeria and also won the 2013 African Cup of Nations.
He announced his retirement from the Super Eagles after the 2019 African Cup of Nations where Nigeria won bronze in the championship held in Egypt.
