Michael Essien has revealed his desire to stay at Chelsea until the end of his career.
He recently demonstrated his commitment to the club by signing a new four-year contract but he has no plans to leave when that deal expires.
"I'd be very happy if I could play for Chelsea until I stop. It is a great club and I've really settled here," he told The Sun.
"It was always a dream of mine since I was a young boy to play in England.
"Chelsea have helped with that dream and I am glad that I can give something back to the club. It would be good to stay for a long time."
