The Ghanian international, who was a key performer for the Blues until a series of injury problems blighted his career, is currently with Serie A side AC Milan and looking for a move to a new club this January.
Still, Essien won’t be coming back to play in England as he cannot face coming up against his old team-mates and supporters at Chelsea.
West Bromwich Albion are mentioned as another club who were chasing the 32-year-old, who is now exploring another avenues as he struggles for regular playing time at the San Siro, just a year after he made the move from Stamford Bridge to Italy.
