Having drawn huge interest from the biggest clubs in France, it was Lyon who secured the services of Michael Essien from SC Bastia in 2003. Essien was instantly deployed as a box-to-box midfielder and enjoyed two rewarding seasons at Lyon. Scoring on his debut, he helped his side win the Trophée des Champions in both 2003 and 2004. Essien’s sturdy performances also led Lyon to their second and third consecutive Ligue 1 titles from 2003-2005, and deservedly earned him the 2005 Player of the Year award in France.
