Michael Essien is leaving AC Milan this summer and his agent Fabrizio Ferrari is already looking for a new club for the former Chelsea midfielder.
“I don’t think he will extend his contract,” Ferrari was quoted by CaughtOffside.
“He’s happy at Milan, and it’s possible he could stay, but I doubt that will happen. It’s difficult to predict what will happen in June.”
Arsenal have emerged as surprise candidates to sign Essien, with the 32-year-old possibly being the defensive midfielder that Arsene Wenger so greatly needs.
