“I really hope [Torres] does well for Milan and for himself,” said Essien to FIFA’s official website.
“Because he's a top striker and we'll benefit from his goals. He's a hard worker both in games and in training and that can also serve him well at Milan.
“One thing Milan can expect to see is 100 per cent all the time from him. I am convinced we'll see lots of goals from Fernando.”
The 31-year-old midfielder is also excited to see Alex and the 21-year-old Marco van Ginkel, who was another late addition to the Rossoneri squad from Stamford Bridge.
“Of course it’s nice to have them all here, and also Van Ginkel, who joined on the last day of the transfer window.
“They are some of the nicest people you will meet in football and we always talk about our days at Chelsea. Hopefully we can bring some of the Chelsea glory days to Milan.”
