West Bromwich Albion interested in AC Milan's Michael Essien?

West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis could look to make a move for AC Milan midfielder Michael Essien, according to a report.

Essien has been deemed surplus to requirements in Italy and may look to break away from the Italian giants a year after moving to San Siro.

Italian broadcaster Sport Mediaset suggests that the Baggies hold an interest in the former Chelsea player, who is also wanted by clubs in the MLS and the United Arab Emirates.

The 32-year-old's agent has stated that it is unlikely that the Ghanaian will sign another deal with the Rossoneri.
