In the most controversial transfer story of the summer so far, the Nigerian youngster seemingly put pen-to-paper on a contract with Manchester United at the end of April.
However, the 19-year-old Lyn star claims to have been ‘bullied' into signing the deal and insists he had always wanted to join Chelsea, who claimed to have an agreement to sign him.
Mikel has now lodged an appeal with FIFA to resolve the matter, and it is beginning to look increasingly likely that the Blues will get their man once again.
"Everything is with FIFA now," said Mikel. 'I just want them to take decisions for me. "But I just have to make my own final decision. I just want them to sort out things for me because everyone just wants to get money for themselves and I don't think that's nice.
"Fifa should look into that and help me because they all know the truth. I left United two years ago and I haven't spoken to anyone from United before I went to Chelsea. So I didn't have any interest in United any more. I took that out of my head, then I fell in love with Chelsea.
"All my heart and mind was to play with Chelsea because the coach likes me, the people there like me, the players - the big boys - they all like me. I saw that my future is going to be bright in Chelsea so I decided to stay there."
