According to reports, Michael Essien is on the verge of joining Australian top-flight side Wellington Phoenix.
The Yellow and Black lads are close to announcing one of the biggest coups in the history of the A-League as the two parties are in advance stage of negotiations.
The Chelsea legend has been without a club since leaving Indonesian side Persib Bandung last year.
The 36-year-old began his professional career in France with Bastia and Lyon but it was his move to EPL giants Chelsea that shot him to superstardom.
Essien won two Premier League titles, four FA Cups, a League Cup and, in 2012, the crowning glory, the Champions League during his nine years stay at Chelsea.
He has also had stints with Real Madrid, AC Milan and lately in Greece with Panathinaikos.
