Nigeria and Chelsea midfielder, John Obi Mikel is now a British citizen.
Mikel became eligible for citizenship, having spent more than eight years in England following his transfer to Chelsea from Lyn Oslo of Norway in 2006.
''Mikel was issued a British passport last week, and he is very happy to be in the possession of the passport,'' a representative of the Super Eagles' star revealed.
''That's very good news because he will no longer be counted as a foreign player in the Chelsea squad.
''All the obstacles that would have prevented him playing in Europe have been eliminated, especially in Italy.
''Mikel is not leaving Chelsea in the January transfer window. He will only think about his future at the end of this season,'' the representative added.
