MICHAEL
ESSIEN is being lined up for a £10million move to Turkish giants Fenerbahce.The Chelsea midfielder, 29, missed most of last season through injury and has fallen out of favour with boss Roberto Di Matteo.
The Blues have signed Eden Hazard, Oscar,
Marko Marin and Victor Moses this summer, with Di Matteo going for a younger
line-up in the middle of the park.
Fenerbahce see Essien as a key capture if
they are to maintain a Champions League place.
They host Spartak Moscow in tonight’s
playoff second leg seeking to overturn a 2-1 deficit.
The Turkish Cup holders also want the
Ghana international to help them win the league title back from arch-rivals
Galatasaray.
They see powerhouse Essien as the
successor to ex-Newcastle star Emre, who has left for Atletico Madrid.
Essien, a £24.4m buy from Lyon in 2005,
has three years left on his Stamford Bridge contract.
