Mikel was recently involved in a Chelsea legends match with Bayern Munich legends played at Stamford Bridge.

The former Super Eagles legend started the game alongside John Terry, Michael Essien, William Gallas, Petr Cech, and a host of other Blues legends.

The former Chelsea midfielder impressed in the game that they won 4-0 against the Bavarians' legends, and there were numerous calls for him to come out of retirement.

One of his former teammates, Terry, who is the former captain of Chelsea, even suggested that the former Nigerian international should consider a move to Saudi Arabia if he decides to come out of retirement, according to Soccernet.
