Mikel: “SA PSL Is So Good, Players Don’t Bother To Go Abroad”

it's the best league in Africa

Former Chelsea and Nigeria midfielder John Obi Mikel has shared his view on why there are not many South African players plying their trade in Europe.

Mikel believes this is because of the competitiveness of the PSL.

“I think it’s not the mentality. I think it’s your organisation. Your organisation is better than ours,” Mikel told the media during the Uefa Europa League trophy tour in Johannesburg.

“If you look at your league, it is that good that a player doesn’t have to go abroad to make ends meet. Your league is way more organised than other leagues [in Africa]. It’s the best league in our continent right now.”

“So, that’s something that we Nigerians have been crying about. We want to see our league better; we know we can do that.

Do you agree with Mikel, Is the PSL the best league in Africa?
