MASSIVE WELCOME FOR MICHAEL ESSIEN IN ATHENS

Panathinaikos fans were given a further boost by
a visit from Ghana international midfielder
Michael Essien who is expected to join the
Athens-based club this week.
The Ghana international travelled to Athens to
watch Panathinaikos's 2-0 victory over PAOK
Salonika on Sunday, and gave interviews to local
media and posed for photographs with several
Panathinaikos supporters ahead of his move.
He will sign a two-year contract worth €2m,
according to the Daily Mail.
The 32-year-old is currently a free agent
following the conclusion of an 18-month spell at
Milan and is ready to begin the next chapter of
his career in Greece.
Essien played for Chelsea between 2005 and 2014,
before joining Real Madrid and AC Milan.
