Muntari and Essien are close friend and international teammates.
“Essien is like a brother to me,” Muntari told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“When Inter made it known that they were interested, Michael called me up and told me I should agree to the move without any doubt because Jose Mourinho is a great Coach.
“I already enjoy playing alongside Essien in the national side and hopefully he will move here too.”
