Michael Essien is seldom fielded at Chelsea. For his eighth season at Chelsea, Michael Essien disillusioned. Only three appearances this season. It had better look elsewhere. Bastia or Olympiakos?

Michael Essien is looking for a club where he can get recovered, as he (successfully) did last year at Real Madrid … But this year, at six-month to World Cup, his requirements will not be the same as he just wants to play.

France Football announced on its website that several French clubs had made inquiries: SC Bastia among others. For the Ghanaian, it would be a homecoming 10 years after leaving the Island of Beauty, and especially the opportunity for him to find playing time in an environment he knows well.

Except that for the latest news, former player of Bastia and Lyon should not however make his return to France but could be loaned to Greek club Olympiacos who admire Essien’s profile.
