Is Essien the reason why we have so many Ghanaian Chelsea fans?

A Twitter rant from yesterday about Ghanaian Chelsea fans is making a lot of waves on the ‘bird app’ with senior Ghanaian sports journalist, Michael Oti Adjei joining the frame.

Popular opinionist, Archipalago in a tweet said that he thinks there was no Ghanaian who was a supporter of English Premier League side, Chelsea until Ghanaian midfielder, Michael Essien joined the London club from Ligue 1 in 2005.

Many have disagreed with his assertion with some claiming there is no shame in supporting a club because of a player you liked joining the club.

Others who disagreed with his opinion also shared their memories of what made them fall in love with the EPL club.

Sports Journo, Oti Adjei who disagreed with Archipalago said the assertion was one of the biggest lies about why there are so many Ghanaians supporting the South London club. He admitted that midfielder Essien’s arrival at Chelsea increase the interest of the club by Ghanaians but the club had signed players like Desailly, Zola, Ruud Gullit and Gianluca Vialli. All these players had character and can equally convince fans to fall in love with the club.

Other angry Chelsea fans who failed to agree with Archipalago also gave their opinions in the comments.
