Inter Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari is keen to get countryman Michael Essien to join him at the Nerazzurri.

After joining from Portsmouth in the summer; a choice which Essien help him make, Muntari would love to see the Chelsea star become an Inter player.

"Essien is like a brother to me," Muntari told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"When Inter made it known that they were interested, Michael called me up and told me I should agree to the move without any doubt because Jose Mourinho is a great Coach.

"I already enjoy playing alongside Essien in the national side and hopefully he will move here too."
