He wrote wrote: "welcome back geezer".

Luiz came back to his former side on a £30m move from Paris Saint-Germain after Chelsea failed to land Kalidou Koulibaly to Stamford Bridge.

Essien played seven seasons with Chelsea before leaving for Real Madrid on loan and then to AC Milan on permanent deal.

The 29-year-old later joined Panathinaikos but had to terminate his contract at the end of the season.
