AC Milanà Chief Executiveà Adriano Galliani has no doubts new signing Michael Essien will add value to the Rossoneri.Ã
Milan's form this term has plummeted and are in search of magician to turn around their fortunes.
Theà Ghana internationalà has undergone medical at the La Madonnina clinic and set to complete his move fromà English Premier Leagueà side Chelsea who released him.
"Essien is an important player who has had an importantà career. He's reliable from a physicalà point of view," Galliani said.
Essien not part of Jose Mourinhoââ¬â¢s plans for the season after making just five Premier League appearances.
He was also not registered for theà Champions Leagueà Group stage matches but AC Milan are ready to give him a starting role.
Milan faceà Atletico Madridà in the next first knock-out round of the competition and are without suspended duo Montolivo and compatriot Sulley Muntari.
"The appeal for Montolivoââ¬â¢s suspension was rejected and heââ¬â¢ll be out for both matches. We'll be without him and Muntari for both Champions League matches and in this sense, Essienââ¬â¢s arrival is important," Galliani said.
"Hopefully thereââ¬â¢ll be more surprises to come for the fans."
