The 29-year-old departed the club on Thursday after sealing a move to Chinese Super League outfit Tianjin TEDA.
A picture was shared on Chinese website Webo of Mikel shaking hands with a Tianjin club official and holding the club's shirt as he became the latest Premier League player to move to the far east.
Mikel said in a statement: “As you will know, I haven’t featured as much this season as I would have liked, and at 29 I still have many years in the game ahead of me.
