AC Milan midfielder Michael Essien is reportedly offered a two-year deal to join Panathinaikos in the summer.

Former Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien is reported to be on his way to Greek giants Panathinaikos.

The 32-year-old will be a free agent when his 18-month contract with AC Milan expires in the summer.

According to Todomercadoweb, Essien has been offered a two-year deal worth €1m (£728,000) a year by Panathinaikos.

The Ghanaian has only made 10 Serie A starts since joining Milan from Chelsea in 2014, after a short loan spell at Real Madrid.

Essien made 257 appearances during a nine-year spell at Stamford Bridge in which he won two Premier League titles, four FA Cups and the Champions League.
