Former Arsenal midfielder Fabregas completed his £27m move from Barcelona to Chelsea prior to the start of the World Cup, signing a five-year deal worth close to £200,000-a-week.

Blues enforcer Mikel, currently preparing with Nigeria ahead of their last-16 tie against France, struggled to hold down a regular first-team place last season following the return of Jose Mourinho as manager.

But despite this, the 27-year-old insists he remains fully committed to Chelsea and cannot wait to link up with Fabregas.

"I don't have a problem with the signing of Cesc Fabregas," Mikel said.

"We have played against each other a lot of times. We don't play in the same position anyway.

"Chelsea are my home away from home, my second home. You never know what's going to happen in football, but I'm very happy at Chelsea and I want to remain at Chelsea.

"I still have three years left on my contract and want to stay there.

"I want to congratulate Cesc with his transfer and I'm looking forward to playing with him."

Italian outfit Inter Milan were interested in bringing Mikel to the San Siro this summer, with owner Erick Thohir desperate to add fresh talent at the club.

Mikel has three years remaining on his current deal at Chelsea, but his agent, John Shittu, admitted last month that initial talks over a move to Inter had been held.
