Scolari: Essien stays here
Friday 5 December, 2008

Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has told Inter midfielder Sulley Muntari to forget about playing alongside Michael Essien at San Siro.

Muntari stated in an interview that he hoped Inter would sign Ghanaian national teammate Essien.

However, Scolari has no intention of letting the 25-year-old leave Stamford Bridge.

“Inter, Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid all want Essien, but he is injured and he is at Chelsea,” the former Portugal tactician boomed.

“If I stay here for three years then I don't want him to go anywhere - I want Essien here with me.

“He is a very good player who can play in five positions. He is young and dedicated and I think he is happy here.”
