Chelsea legend Michael Essien says he keeps constant tabs on the progress of his former club.
The Ghanaian was a pillar of Chelsea’s success during his spell between 2005 and 2014.
He won every major honour and was even named African Footballer of the Year in 2006.
The former Real Madrid and AC Milan star has revealed he takes time to watch Chelsea games.
“It is very possible to love domestic clubs but also outside clubs and I still watch Chelsea matches at night because in the morning I have to practice (with Persib),” Essien said on the “The John Dykes Show” which returned on FOX Sports Asia.
Essien is regarded as the most complete Ghanaian export of all time.
