Welcome to the Community,

the easiest way is to use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone for the job. You could also use the vmware-vdiskmanager command line tool to convert the virtual disk to manually the required format, then upload the VM to the ESXi host's datastore and do some minor modifications (depending on the versions of Player and ESXi) if - for whatever reason - you don't want to use the Converter.

I will go with a.p. VMware Converter would be the best option to migrate the VM's to the ESX host
