Debate: Is it the right time for John Obi Mikel to leave Chelsea?

Nigeria's John Obi Mikel has been heavily linked with a move away from Chelsea this summer. The Nigeria midfielder has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge; should he cut his losses and try his chances away from West London, or remain with Jose Mourinho? The 28-year-old has been linked with a move to Turkish champions Fenerbahce, but United Arab Emirates heavyweights Al Ain appear favourites for the player's signature. Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan, who currently features for the reigning UAE Pro-League champions, has expressed his conviction that the Nigerian will definitely be heading to Abu Dhabi this summer. Following an indifferent season, in which the midfielder claimed his second Premier League title, but only made six starts in the top flight, the Super Eagle may have come to the end of the road at Stamford Bridge.
