football under Antonio Conte and is now assessing his options ahead of
the transfer window
John Obi Mikel will look for a Chelsea exit in January if he continues to be ignored by Antonio Conte.
The Nigerian, Chelsea's second longest-serving player behind John
Terry, is yet to play a single minute under Antonio Conte and has hinted
at a falling out with the new manager over his involvement at the
Olympic Games.
Without Mikel, Conte has guided Chelsea to top of the Premier
League table with the club currently enjoying a six-game winning streak
without conceding a goal, but the 29-year-old has no regrets over his
summer decision.
"I have never been a guy to make excuses, I never shy away from my responsibilities," Mikel told BBC World Service Sport.
"Yes, people will say 'he went to the Olympics' and 'he didn't
have a pre-season with the team' and a new manager came in and was
probably upset I went to the Olympics and thinks I don't care about the
team.
"I don't want to make excuses. In the end of the day, I have to
keep training hard and trying to change the manager's mind. If it
doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.
"I will keep doing my best and ready for when called up upon. We will see what happens in January."
Mikel stands by his contribution, he joined Chelsea 10 years ago,
having won the Premier League twice and both the Champions League and
Europa League once during his spell and is confident his achievement
will be remembered.
He continued: "I have been a part of the best years of this
club. Chelsea never won the Champions League before, I was there and I
was the man of the match in the final.
"I have written my name in the history of this football club
and I have won loads of trophies. I have played close to 400 games and
have no single regret. I have done it all.
"I still want to win more and help the team. Players move on in
life but I am relaxed about January. I will speak to the club find the
best solution.
"I could say a lot of things which could put me in trouble, but I would rather be quiet."
