Just days after having his contract terminated by Kuwaiti league side Kuwait SC, former Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel is being linked with a move to the LS V.League 1 with
Vietnamese, Owosports.com.ng reports.
According to multiple reports in the Vietnamese media, Mikel terminating his contract with Kuwait SC has increased the possibility that he will be moving to Vietnam in the near future.
Ho Chi Minh City FC are reportedly the frontrunners for the signature of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner.
However, respected Vietnamese agent Nguyen Minh Chau revealed in September that Mikel has promised to continue his career in Vietnam in 2022 but a contract has not yet been signed.
Should Mikel complete a move to Vietnam materializes, it would be a huge boost to the championship given the central midfielder’s profile.
The 34-year-old won the Champions League, Europa League, Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup during a ten-and-a-half-year association with Chelsea.
