Former Chelsea star Mikel undecided on Botafogo move

Former Chelsea star John Obi Mikel has stated he is still contemplating on a proposed move to Botafogo.

The midfielder is a free agent after ending his contract with Turkish Super Lig club Trabzonspor by mutual agreement last month.

The former Nigeria international affirmed the Brazilian side has shown their interest to sign him but he is yet to make a final decision.

"Yes there has been interest and yes there has been negotiations but I don't know yet. I am still thinking about it. Not sure yet," Mikel told ESPN.
