Michael Essien, nicknamed Bison, is a halfback who can play in any position along the halfway line. He is known for his physical strength, endurance and resilience in one-on-one battles. The Ghanaian tries to sleep a lot as a way of building up strength for a match – he can easily sleep for 14 hours in a row. Essien is Africa's most expensive player. His move from France's Lyon to London's Chelsea cost the "aristocrats" 38 million euros.
