Is Michael Essien considering a move to Markets Field?
We wouldn't hold our breath on that transfer going through but there's no doubt that the former Chelsea and AC Milan midfielder will have been impressed by what he saw on his trip to watch Limerick FC.
Martin Russell’s charges collected a routine three points on Friday night as they moved yet another step closer to promotion with a 2-0 victory over Shelbourne.

Limerick captain Shane Duggan played a starring role as he opened the scoring with a ripping strike from the edge of the area to give his side a half-time lead.
Chris Mulhall added a second after the break to keep Limerick's 20-point lead atop the SSE Airtricity League First Division table in tact.

And Essien, no stranger to a long-range rocket himself, proudly awarded Duggan the man of the match award at full time.
