Michael Essien has spoken of his gladness to be a player of AC Milan of Italy.
Having landed on Friday night, the much-awaited move of the player has been explained – by himself. “Why I decided to join Milan? Because of Seedorf. I spoke with him”.
Milan is a den of legends, and the Ghanaian cannot wait to play with them. “I can’t wait to play for Milan. Kakà and Balotelli? They are great players”.
Never a man to talk about private stuff, he only gave a whiff of the transfer dealings between Chelsea and the Italian giants.
“I want to thank Abramovich, the squad and Mourinho, who gave me the chance to join Milan”.
Essien landed at the Malpensa airport shortly after 2100 CAT (1900 GMT) and was swamped by fans and media.
“l will do my best for Milan. Seedorf? I spoke with him two days ago. Seedorf is a great man, and I hope that he will also become a great manager. And I have heard from Muntari too”.
