A lovely photo from a reunion between former Black Stars and Chelsea midfielder, Michael Essien and his club playmate, Didier Drogba has popped up on social media.
In the photo, Drogba had his arm wrapped around Essien’s neck as they beam with smiles for the camera.

He backed the lovely photo with a profound message to eulogise Mr Essien and wished him well in the years ahead.
