Mikel confirms Botafogo interest

Obi Mikel has revealed he is in talks with a Brazilian side Botafogo over a possible move to the Rio de Janeiro club.

Mikel is without a club since his contract was terminated by the Turkish League side Trabzonspor last month. Botafogo switched their attention to the former Chelsea midfielder after missing out on Yaya Toure.

“But I don’t know yet. I am still thinking about it. Not sure yet,” he added. 

The 32-year-old made 19 league appearances for Trabzonspor before termination of his contract.
