Chelsea legend John Obi Mikel has backed the decision to sack Graham Potter, with the former Chelsea star claiming there was no spark in the team under Potter.

Mikel, who made 372 appearances for Chelsea and won numerous trophies at Stamford Bridge, is unhappy with some of the players at the club.

“I don’t think anyone can make sense of what is going on,” Mikel told Dubai Eye 103.8 Sport.

“Players are coming in through the door. I read articles that Todd Boehly is looking at Arsenal’s radar and whoever Arsenal is going for.

“Some players when you look at them, they’re not Chelsea players. Some of them are not good on the ball. When you look at the way the team was playing before Graham Potter got sacked, nothing was happening. There was no spark.

“Nothing was going on. When you watch the games, you think where are the goals going to come from? Where is the magic going to come from?

“With Frank Lampard coming back, he knows the club. Let’s hope we will start playing well and get some good results.”
