Middlesbrough midfielder John Obi Mikel has been named in the English Championship Team of the Week.

The Nigeria international who made his fourth appearance for Tony Pulis’ men since joining the side in January delivered an outstanding display to help them clinch a 1-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers on Sunday.

Boro fans, highly impressed with Mikel's showing, have since composed a special chant for the former Champions League winner.
