3 Super Eagles stars that will follow Mikel to China (photos)

The Chinese Super League has dominated all major headlines in recent times considering the outrageous money clubs who are campaigning in the League are spending to lure players from Europe to the country.

Argentine striker Carlos Tevez is now the highest paid player in the world thanks to his mega million move to Shanghai Shenhua and he is expected to be earning £615,000 a week on a two-year deal.

Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel has also dumped Premier League club Chelsea for a move to Chinese club Tianjin Teda and here we look at three Nigerian international players that may likely follow their captain to China.
