John Obi Mikel has reportedly agreed a deal to join Al Ain.
The Chelsea midfielder found himself largely surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge this season as Jose Mourinho led his side to the title.
And while the Dubai outfit are yet to agree a fee with the Blues for the Nigerian, it seems a move to the Middle East is only a matter of time.
According to reports in Nigeria, Mikel has already agreed personal terms at his new club.
The player's agent Babawo Mohammed said: "It is now left for Chelsea and the Dubai club Al Ain to agree on a transfer fee."
Reports yesterday suggested Mikel was close to joining Turkish outfit Fenerbahce, despite having two years remaining on his current deal at Chelsea.
But it seems that the Istanbul outfit's hopes have been scuppered by interest from Al Ain.
