Essien signs new five-year contract with Chelsea
Soccer Betting Lines
07/22/2008 -
London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chelsea has secured the long-term future of
Michael Essien at Stamford Bridge after handing the midfielder a new five-year
contract.
The Ghana international has followed teammates Wayne Bridge and Petr Cech in
putting pen to paper on new deals after agreeing to remain with the club until
summer 2013.
Goalkeeper Cech and left back Bridge have agreed new five and four-year deals,
respectively, with the Blues in recent days.
"I am really pleased to have extended my contract with Chelsea," Essien told
the club's official website. "I am very happy here. We have a great team and
fantastic fans who have always made me welcome.
"With the addition of the new manager, I am feeling very positive about the
season ahead."
Essien joined Chelsea in a $48 million deal from French champions Lyon in 2005
and has made 143 appearances in all competitions for the club.
The 25-year-old has also built a reputation as one of the best defensive
midfielders in the world during his time in the Premier League.
"I have not been here long but it is clear to me that Michael Essien is one of
the best midfield players in the world," new coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said. "I
have always admired him and it is good news for me and for Chelsea that he
signs for so long."

It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.
As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.
Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.
Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.
Also worth noting are the defending Stanley Cup champs Carolina Hurricanes, a 10-1 bet to repeat. Behind the Canes are the New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, and Anaheim Mighty Ducks all sit at 12-1. In the basement are the Washington Capitals, Chicago Blackhawks, and St. Louis Blues who all have 100-1 odds to win.
