Lyon hold firm over Essien
Chelsea have been dealt another major blow in their attempts to sign Michael Essien from Lyon. Essien has now traveled with the side to Korea for a pre season tournament after he insisted he did not want to travel because he wanted a move to Premier league champions Chelsea. Lyon have held firm over a move all summer and have kept their valuation of the player at £30 million, another bid was yet again rejected on Wednesday believed to be around £21 million from Chelsea. New Lyon coach Gerard Houllier believes it would be better if Essien stayed one more season.
I believe Essien is a great Midfield player and any team would want him. I agree with Gerard Houllier though because I do think he should stay with Lyon for at least one more season. Essien is only 22 and if Chelsea were to sign him they would be recieving a great young talent. Man united were also intrested in the player early this summer but simply just did'nt have the funds. I think Lyon's valuation of the player is a bit much.
