Michael Essien's £75,000 Range Rover Vogue has been stolen from the driveway of his home in the UK.

According to UK-based Daily Mail, burglars targeted the property, in Cobham, Surrey, where Chelsea's training ground is based, and made off with the 4x4.

The ex Chelsea star eft the Blues for Italian club AC Milan in January 2014 but still owns the property purchased during his time at Stamford Bridge.

'A Range Rover Vogue was stolen from the driveway of one property while a Mercedes and a BMW were stolen following a burglary at another address.
