EPL: You’ve zero Champions League titles – Obi Mikel mocks Arsenal fans over Vinicius

Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has taken aim at Arsenal fans following their unsuccessful pursuit of Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior this summer. The Brazilian winger emerged as a surprise target for the Gunners, with the team reportedly prepared to make him the highest-paid player in Premier League history. However, Vinicius ultimately decided to extend his contract with Real Madrid instead.

During a recent episode of The Obi One Podcast, Mikel pointed out that Arsenal has never won a Champions League title, boasting only a single Premier League title in the last 22 years. The former Chelsea player suggested that Arsenal fans' expectations were unrealistic, highlighting Vinicius's impressive record of winning multiple titles while at Real Madrid, including the Champions League.

Mikel emphasized that Arsenal fans cannot expect Vinicius to leave Real Madrid to join a club with such a limited record of success.
