The 34-year-old, who has also played for Real Madrid and Milan, has signed a one-year contract with his new club, with the option of an extension. Indonesian side Persib Bandung have confirmed that they have completed the signing of Michael Essien.
The former Chelsea midfielder has signed a one-year contract and, as he did for the Blues, will wear the No.5 shirt for his new team.
Essien made over 250 appearances in all competitions during his time at Stamford Bridge, spending a season on loan at Real Madrid before finally leaving in 2014.
Since then he has featured for the likes of AC Milan and, most recently, Panathinaikos, where he played 12 league games during the 2015-16 campaign.
Speaking of the move to Persib, Essien revealed his desire to be the catalyst for more of the game’s global stars to make the switch to Indonesia.
He told the club’s official website: “I hope I am the prelude to other world players moving to Indonesia.

You might disagree, but the treatment Essien meted out to the father will have a dire consequences on his life. No forgiveness even after you have become so rich?
Football left you long ago and you are still embarrassing yourself all over. Upon all the money you made can't you save your reputation a little? Look at Lampard, Gerard,etc all decently retired and enjoying life as a TV host or football pundits. They played decently ending in USA. You are F00OLISHLY all over the place. Koo Darkie be wise. School is indeed important.
you see what the curses of your dead father has done to you for neglecting him and where that witch mother of yours has done to you for giving you bad advice against your father and where that co-witch wife of yours who slept with all the men in ghana has done to your life? may the lord help you otherwise like this like this nkoaaaa forever
Oh no ????????
Good luck, am praying the dream comes true. Shine in Indo...
