Approximately 1,000 Michael Essien replica jerseys have been sold by Persib Bandung just three weeks after the former Chelsea star was signed by the Indonesian club.
His arrival created a frenzy among the Persib supporters, known as Bobotoh, who are excited about Essien's arrival and have flocked to the stores to purchase his No 5 shirt which is going for 255,000 Indonesian Rupiah (approximately $19) apiece.
