Michael Essien started his playing career with the youth Academy of Liberty Professionals before moving to French club Bastia in 2000. His professional debut for the club came in 2000, but it clearly became evident that Michael Essien was not going to become a first-team player from the word go. In his first ever season with the club, he made 12 appearances and scored one goal. However, the following season was more rewarding for Michael Essien as he made 24 appearances and established himself as one of the important members of the squad.

After spending two more years with Bastia, Michael Essien decided to move to Lyon in the 2003-04 season following the acceptance of the € 8 million transfer fee. Despite the presence of various defensive midfielders like Edmilson and Mahamadou Diarra, the young Michael Essien continued to impress both his club and various clubs across Europe. It is not surprising to learn that he spent only two years with Lyon, but in those two years, he made a total of more than 70 appearances, which served to re-establish the belief that Michael Essien was indeed transforming into a great player.
