The reasons for the termination are yet unknown.

 

Mikel had initially signed a one-year extension with Stoke before terminating his contract to join Kuwait SC.

 

Before joining Stoke, his contract with Trabzonspor was also terminated after he refused to play due to the coronavirus pandemic.

 

Mikel, who spent 11 years with Chelsea made 249 Premier League appearances for Chelsea.  He won the Champions League and Europa League, two Premier Leagues, three FA Cups, and the League Cup during his time with the London club.
