“Because somebody wants to play for money, doesn't make him a bad person' - John Fashanu endorses Mikel Obi's move to China

Former England international and current football analyst John Fashanu has endorsed former Chelsea player John Mikel Obi's move to the Far East where he last week signed for Chinese Super League side, Tianjin Teda.

Mikel was this season snubbed by Chelsea coach Antonio Conte, and last week  he signed with the Chinese club despite receiving plenty offers from European clubs. Fashanu believes financial security is important for footballers.
