John Obi Mikel is set to be handed a new deal by Chelsea.

The Sun says Chelsea are poised to hand Obi Mikel a new five-year contract.

Mikel's deal expires next summer, but his agent John Shittu revealed: "Mikel will soon sign a new five-year contract with an improved salary and we are just about finalising the details of it.

"Mikel is one of Chelsea's most consistent performers and the club agrees with us he deserves a new and improved contract.

"He has a year left and Chelsea have decided to add four more years to it."
