Atletico Madrid and Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey has named former Chelsea star Michael Essien as his idol and the person he looked up to when he harbored the ambition of becoming a top tier footballer.
The choice of Essien will come as no surprise to many considering the clout and effect Essien had on a lot of young footballers during his peak years (2005 to 2010).
At the height of his prowess, Essien had so much pull he got a lot of Ghanaians switching allegiance to join English side Chelsea because he had signed for them from French side Lyon.
In a lighthearted conversation conducted in Spanish, Partey answered a wide range of questions including his favourite musicians, Tv series, favorite number, his idol and many others.
The interview posted on the Atletico Madrid twitter handle was a way to draw the curtain on the year 2019.
