Chelsea Champions League winner John Obi Mikel is open to returning to England next season.

A free agent since terminating his contract with Trabzonspor, Obi Mikel has been linked with a move to Brazil at Botafogo.

But he told BBC Sport: "Yes, there is interest and England is a strong candidate, an opportunity, so why not?

"At present we have discussions with clubs and there is no reason to stress.

"I'll wait and see what happens."

Obi Mikel, 33, made 27 appearances in all competitions for Trabzonspor last season.
