Former Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel has been shortlisted for Stoke City’s Player of the Month for April 2021, according to the official website of the Potters.
The ex-Chelsea star went the distance in all Stoke City games in the Championship in April – five in total.
Michael O’Neill’s side collected five points from a possible eighteen in the division – drawing twice, winning once, and losing three games.
Mikel is up against Wales international Adam Davies, Wales goalkeeper Rhys Norrington-Davies and winger Jacob Brown for the monthly accolade.
Stoke City wrote : “Another player to feature in every game in April, former Nigeria international John Obi Mikel produced a number of solid performances in the heart of midfield.
“The 34-year-old used all of his experience to break up and start play, as well as helping to support the younger players around him.
