Former Super Eagles captain, John Obi Mikel, has revealed that he woke up to a lot of messages from Arsenal supporters after they were confirmed Premier League champions on Tuesday.
Mikel Obi, who played for the Gunners’ rivals Chelsea, has admitted he was initially reluctant to congratulate them.
“I woke up to my phone blowing up, the messages were unbelievable, from Arsenal fans. Why will I congratulate Arsenal for winning the Premier League, I, a Chelsea fan, no way would we congratulate Arsenal for winning the Premier League,” he said on his podcast.
Mikel Obi, despite his loyalty to Chelsea, has praised Mikel Arteta’s men for ending a 22-year drought.
“But I have to say it though: they won the Premier League, they deserve it, fair play. We should not be bitter losers when it comes to sports.
“If someone has beaten you, you shake hands, and you move on,” he added.
GISTSMATE MEDIA reported that Arsenal have been crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years.
Following three runners-up finishes, the Gunners have sealed top spot after Manchester City drew 1-1 at Bournemouth on Tuesday night.
Arsenal have topped the table for much of the season, but their title bid looked to have hit shaky ground in April as Man City started to breathe down their necks.
A 2-1 defeat at the Etihad seemed to hand the title advantage to City but the Gunners rallied and have held off Pep Guardiola’s side to win the league for the first time since the Invincibles in the 2003/04 season.
