Black Stars forward Antoine Semenyo believes Michael Essien is the greatest Ghanaian to ever play in the Premier League.
Essien enjoyed a long-lasting career in England with Chelsea where he went on to become the first Ghanaian to win the English top flight.
While others including Tony Yeboah, Sulley Muntari, Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew have all had their turns in the Premier League, Semenyo believes no one comes to the levels at which Essien played in the Premier League.
"[It] has to be Michael Essien," the Bournemouth forward told BR Football when quizzed about the Greatest Ghanaian Player of All Time in the Ghana Premier League.
"I want to say Asamoah Gyan just for what he's done at Sunderland but yeah, Michael Essien, he's the GOAT."
The former Chelsea man enjoyed a great time in his Premier League career with Chelsea as he played 168 times in the league, scoring 17 times and assisting 10 times. Essienalso won the Premier League title twice, in 2006 and 2010.
