Man United and Arsenal linked with Annan - dubbed 'the new Essien'
Rosenborg midfielder Anthony Annan says he is being tracked by Manchester United and Arsenal.
The 23-year-old Ghana international is proud of being dubbed 'the new Michael Essien' and he could well follow the Chelsea midfielder to the Barclays Premier League.
'Essien is a top player, to be (compared) alongside him is amazing. He has everything, class, power, touch, stamina, what a player, to compare him to me?
'People are crazy. I learn a lot alongside him, he is simply awesome.
'To me, to be followed by Arsenal and Man United, they are two great teams. I just won the league here (with Rosenborg). Let me enjoy it and we will see in the future.'
Annan was thought to be close to a move to Blackburn Rovers last summer after impressing on trial, but the switch failed to materialise. He has also been linked to Tottenham Hotspur during the last year.
