Al Kuwait SC terminate Mikel Obi's contract


The 34-year-old former Super Eagles skipper has left the Brigadiers just four months after joining and without featuring in their Premier League

Former Chelsea player John Obi Mikel is now a free agent after Al Kuwait SC terminated his contract on Thursday.

The club, which is based in Kuwait City, confirmed in a statement on their Instagram page they have parted ways with the former Nigeria captain but could not divulge the reason behind the decision.

The message by Kuwait read: “Termination of the contract of the Nigerian John Obi Mikel.”

Mikel joined Kuwait in the offseason after leaving Stoke City and he had 12 months left on his contract having penned a one-year deal that was supposed to keep him at the club for the 2021-22 season.

On signing for Kuwait, who finished third in the Premier League last season behind Al-Qadsia and leaders Al-Arabi, Mikel promised to help the club to achieve their targets for the new season.
