Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich will not allow midfielder Michael Essien to join Real Madrid, according to The Sun.

Former Blues boss Jose Mourinho is believed to be an admirer of the Ghana international, who he signed for the London club in 2005.

Essien has four years left on his £110,000-a-week contract at Stamford Bridge, but has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.

But Abramovich is adamant the player will not leave, with a top source at the club saying: “Abramovich is not going to sell.”

Mourinho feels that Essien can strengthen his midfield and help his Real Madrid side catch Barcelona in La Liga.

Although Essien has spent long spells on the sidelines in recent seasons due to injury, he is still seen as integral to the long-term plans at Stamford Bridge.
