Midfielder John Mikel Obi has left Chelsea to join Chinese Super League side Tianjin TEDA.
The 29‑year‑old Nigerian has played 372 times for Chelsea since joining in 2006 but has not featured this season.
He said it had been an honour to play for the Stamford Bridge club but it was time to seek a new challenge.
Mikel has won two Premier League titles, four FA Cups and the 2012 Champions League during his time with Chelsea.
Chelsea will play Leicester at 5.30am next Sunday.
