Essien excited about Mourinho reunion

Micheal Essien is looking forward to renewing his relationship with 'daddy' Jose Mourinho after completing his loan move to Real Madrid and being immediately named in a 20-man squad for the home match against Granada which the host won 3-0.

Essien was snapped up by Madrid on a season-long loan from Chelsea late on transfer deadline day. With the Spanish giants also agreeing to let Lassana Diara join Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala for the current campaign.

The 29-year-old Essien's move to the Bernabeu sees him rejoin former Blues boss Mourinho, who brought him to England in 2005, and the Ghana international is delighted to be linking back up with someone he considers a father figure. 'I call him that (daddy) because i see him as like a father. He took me to Chelsea and we have a very good relationship. He said.
