Super Eagles midfielder John Mikel Obi who is widely regarded as one of the best Nigerian players of his generation, has been playing in China for Tianjin TEDA since January after leaving the Blues.
Everton have been linked with the Super Eagles captain, who has since dismissed the claims, saying he is happy in China.
Mikel told Tianjin TV: "I don't know from where such a rumour could come, but this story is untrue.
"I want to stay in the CSL and play for Teda. I'm sure there will be lots of speculation about me as the transfer window nears but it is a false rumour.
"The CSL lags behind the Premier League, but their level is still quite high. I believe more matches will help me get in shape for the 2018 World Cup.
"I just hope to stay injury free next year and have an amazing season with Teda."
