Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has recently named his Premier League’s all-time African XI amid the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
The former Super Eagles captain did not include the likes of Arsenal legend Nwankwo Kanu and former Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez in the list.
