AC Milan midfielder Michael Essien is convinced that Fernando Torres will score a lot of goals for the Rossoneri.
The Spaniard joined Milan on a two-year loan deal from Chelsea this summer and scored his first goal for the club last night in a 2-2 draw against Empoli.
Torres will be hoping that he can rejuvenate his career in Italy after a disappointing three-and-a-half seasons at Chelsea where he failed to reach the heights of his time at Liverpool.
His current Milan team-mate Essien feels that the Spaniard will be a huge success at the San Siro and the Rossoneri will become successful on the back of his goals.
“I really hope he does well for Milan and for himself because he's a top striker and we'll benefit from his goals”, the Ghanaian told FIFA.

The 32-year-old, who also played with Torres at Chelsea, said that the Spaniard is a hard working and committed professional and believes he will score bags of goal for Milan.
“He's a hard worker both in games and in training and that can also serve him well at Milan. One thing Milan can expect to see is 100 per cent all the time from him.
“I am convinced we'll see lots of goals from Fernando.”
Torres scored 85 league goals in 212 appearances in England for Liverpool and Chelsea.
