Michael Essien enjoying life at AC Milan

AC Milan midfielder Michael Essien says that he is enjoying life at the club.

AC Milan midfielder Michael Essien has revealed that he is enjoying life at the club.

The 31-year-old, who arrived from Chelsea in January, insists that it was always a dream for him to play for the Rossoneri.

"Milan is good and I am settling in nicely which is important," he told SuperSport.com. "Everyone is friendly at the club and are looking after me well so I can't complain. It's all good and once I get to know the city and people very well, I am sure I will enjoy it more.

"Yes [a lack of first team football at Chelsea] was one of the reasons I moved, but more importantly the Coach at Milan personally called me and showed that he wanted me as part of his project and that was important for me. I had always said I will like to play for Milan at some stage in my career so when the opportunity came up I grabbed it with both hands.

"I am enjoying Serie A at present from the games I have played in and watched from the bench. It is different to the Premier League in terms of pace and some of the tactical awareness and play and I am sure there is more to be learnt in the weeks and months ahead."

Milan are currently ninth in the Serie A table.
