Former Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi has thrown tantrums at Premier League club Arsenal saying the team always play good football, but do not win trophies.

Mikel who played against the Gunners for 11 years having played for Chelsea between 2006 and 2017 trolled the former rival club for their inability to win trophies.

And now Mikel Obi was spotted giving pep talk to aspiring footballers somewhere in Nigeria. He urged them to be hardworking, saying one day they might see themselves playing for the national team or football clubs.

When the kids mentioned Arsenal, Mikel chuckled and replied:

“Arsenal…they play good football but they don’t win trophies.”

Meanwhile, Mikel has continued to find more ways to excite his lovely daughters after being spotted with two beautiful bicycles.

The 34-year-old midfielder whose current deal with Stoke City expires at the end of this season is currently with his family enjoying the pre-summer holidays.

Although the Nigeria international is unsure what the future holds for him, he is however unfazed with that challenge as he hopes to make every moment with his family count.

Dressed in a sweatshirt and black and white trainers, the former Champions League winner was all smiling while walking on the streets with the two bicycles.
