Ghana international Essien flew to Milan on Friday to undergo a medical ahead of a proposed switch from Stamford Bridge to San Siro.
Upon his arrival at Malpensa Airport, the 31-year-old expressed excitement at the opportunity to play for Clarence Seedorf, but also showed gratitude to Mourinho.
"I'm happy to be here. I will do my best for Milan and hope to be ready to play," Essien told Milan Channel.
"I spoke with Mr. Seedorf two days ago, I can't wait to be there.
"I would like to thank the president and the team and thanks to Mourinho that I was allowed to wear the Milan shirt."
