Former Everton and Nigerian international striker Daniel Amokachi has hailed Chelsea great John Obi Mikel as Nigeria’s greatest footballer ever.

“Mikel is the greatest player,” Amokachi told Brila FM.

“He has won everything that a player can hope to; the Champions League, Europa, Afcon in 2013 and he also captained the national team.

“As a footballer, your laurels count and that will surely count for Mikel because nobody has won that much in Nigerian football.”

During his time at Chelsea, Mikel won 2 PL titles, 3 FA Cups, 1 League Cup, Community Shield, the UEFA Champions Leauge and also the Europa League.
