Looks like a good buy to me..
Ghanaian midfielder Michael Essien has signed a four-year contract with French champions Olympique Lyon.
Lyon snapped up the 20-year-old from fellow-French club Bastia for $8 million after Essien's rejection of a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
According to Bastia, the club had signed an agreement with PSG but Essien was not keen on the move.
His decision to move to Lyon was apparently influenced by the prospect of playing Champions League football next season. |
