Could John Obi Mikel be Joining Lampard in the MLS?

In an interview with Goal.com, current Chelsea FC player John Obi Mikel said that if he isn’t offered a new deal come January, he would be open to a move away from Stanford Bridge. For the past 10 years, Mikel has called London home but would be open to a move to Major League Soccer for a reunion with former teammate Frank Lampard, currently playing at NYCFC.

I am happy that [Lampard] is back to his best, doing what he loves to do and, one day, who knows, I may go over there and play against him, or play with him.
