Mikel has still three years left on his current deal, but the Blues wants the youngster to sign a new deal.
“It has been an ongoing discussion for two weeks now and only a few details remain,” Mikel’s agent John Shittu told The Sun.
“The player is happy at the club and the club also want to commit him to a long-term contract.
“There is absolutely no problem and both parties are on the right page.
“In a few days everything will be concluded. The player is at the right club, where the fans appreciate him and he also feels at home.
“Many people questioned his decision to come here but I think now he has proved himself and shown he deserves everything.”
