I think he can be a future Captain of Chelsea.

Really good appearence on the pitch

of course, long shot and all, but for me, he has all the abilities for that

Have to say I don't think he will ever have the sort of charisma required for a captaincy role, but he has already shown himself to be a fantastic player over a long period of time.

He was very very young when he came he was only 19. It was the composure and passing ability at white hart lane that gave him a platform. I think it will be hard for many youngster's to make an impact for Chelsea, they have to have an advanced football brain like mikel has too make an impact what do you think ?

I think youngsters need to be given more chances, but Mikel came in like he was an experienced European footballer, he was absolutely special in that respect and its so easy to forget how young he is.

Then again, he might be in his mid-20s and lying about his age like is alleged with many Nigerian players :lol:

Do you think their could be a chance of his age being different from what he say's ?

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti feels that this season could be the campaign where midfielder Jon Obi Mikel steps forward and shows his qualities as a creative midfielder.

“I have a lot of trust in Mikel,” he told The Daily Mail. “I think he can be the playmaker of this team. He is a young player, but has great quality, both technical and tactical.

"For the present and for the future he is a very important player for us. We are very happy he has signed a new contract and I hope that he stays at Chelsea for a lot of years.

“I would like that he puts in his great quality for the team.”

Mikel was clearly pleased by his manager's praise, saying “It is a great honour that he sees something in me. He says I am a player with great qualities, but thinks I can be even better.”

“It is going to take a bit of time, but I am going to work very close with him to make it happen.”

"He likes the fact I am strong and can play with the ball, but says that I still need to add more things to my game — if I do that then he thinks I’m going to be fantastic.”

The Nigerian believes Ancelotti will finally bring a Champions League to Stamford Bridge, saying, “We have come close so many times and I think that is why the club have brought him here, to take us to that final step.”

"The way he has come in and the ideas he has as to how to set the team up, I think we can win everything."

There is a chance yes, however actually I doubt it. There has been so much focus on him at this young age that someone would've worked it out by now.
