John Obi Mikel has reportedly placed his Chelsea contract talks on hold.
The 28-year-old midfielder is contract with the Blues until the summer of 2017 but has an offer on the table for an extension.
According to his agent, John Shittu, Nigeria international Mikel is not prepared to commit to the Blues just yet and will wait to learn more about big-money offers from clubs in China before making a call on his Stamford Bridge career which begun in 2006.
"Chelsea have approached him for an extension of his contract but he said after the season he'll decide," Shittu told website AllNigeriaSoccer.com.
"He has so many teams interested in him, almost three clubs in China want him."
