Michael Essien officially signed for Italian side AC Milan today for an undisclosed fee and a contract 17 months long. Michael was on loan to Real Madrid last season, as he struggled to get into the team at Chelsea. When he returned from loan Jose Mourinho joined him as he was appointed as the new Chelsea manager, following the sacking of Roberto Di Matteo. Jose described Michael as his son in a recent interview and returned by Michael naming him Dad. However it didn't come as a huge shock that the previous record signing for Chelsea in 2005 announced interest in a possible move to the Serie A team.
Although Essien was told he could happily stay at the club if he wanted to by Jose Mourinho he felt a move permanently would be best for him. The Ghanaian international, I believe, is a fantastic signing for AC Milan and as positive a move as it is for Michael himself as he deserves regular game time at a top team. He plays his position really well and I believe he will be an important member of the Milan team.
What do you think?
