Really? Micheal Essien relishes return to Chelsea with Jose Mourinho

UK Sun Reports that Michael Essien wants to stay at Chelsea for another spell under Jose Mourinho.

The Special One took the midfielder to Real Madrid on loan last season — putting the Ghana star’s Stamford Bridge future in doubt. But with Mourinho back at Chelsea, Essien, 30, is keen to re-join the man he calls ‘Daddy’. Essien, who was brought to the Bridge by Mourinho in 2005, said: “I have got two years left on my contract. “When Mourinho wants me to do a job for him, I will do it. He is a great manager and everybody is happy to have him back.  “Jose is the right man to take the club forward.” Essien’s Chelsea career stalled after a knee injury.  But he declared: “I have got my energy back and I feel I can do a job.  “It was important for me to play a lot at Madrid and prove my fitness.”
