AC Milan boss Clarence Seedorf has welcomed the arrival of Michael Essien from Chelsea. The deal was confirmed by both clubs on Friday night.
Seedorf said: "I know him well. He has great character and is a great player. He's a man and a warrior who really wants to make his mark ahead of the World Cup. He'll bring qualities both on and off the field. Essien can play very well in the two midfielders in front of the defence."
