John Obi Mikel set for Chelsea stay

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is ready to count on John Obi Mikel for the new season.

Obi Mikel is expected to remain at Chelsea following the club's decision to send Oriol Romeu on loan to Stuttgart.

He has already set his sights on claiming more silverware next term after Chelsea missed out last season.

The Nigeria midfielder said: "Hopefully it will be a very successful one for the team. Everyone wants to achieve something. We want to win trophies.

"We didn't do that last season but this time we are all hoping we can have a good one and win some trophies."
