BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Chelsea have today (Sunday) agreed a deal to sign defender Abdul Baba Rahman from Bundesliga outfit FC Augsburg.The Blues had been linked with the left-back since Brazil international Filipe Luis was allowed to return to Atletico Madrid earlier this summer.The 21-year-old Ghanaian international was a member of his country’s Africa Cup of Nations squad which finished runners-up to Ivory Coast in February. Rahman said: 'I am very happy to sign for Chelsea, one of the biggest clubs in the world. 'I can't wait to train with my new team-mates and very much looking forward to working with them and Mr Mourinho', he continued. 'I am also looking forward to having the opportunity to meet the fans as soon as possible'. The Ghanaian's arrival will mean increased competition for regular full-backs Cesar Azpilicueta and Branislav Ivanovic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,317 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 All we need now is Stones. Even though I don't feel he is ready yet, a back line of Dave, Stones, Zouma & Rahman, is the way forward. Ivanovic, JT & Cahill as back up..

nullabletype 987 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Hadn't heard of him until a week ago so my hype levels are zero. Still, after Ivanovic's recent outings I'd not object to the idea of him starting with Azpilicueta back on the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roquila 1,335 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Welcome to Chelsea Rahman. Let's hope Azpi moves to RB and we never see Ivanovic starting again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duppy Conqueror 1,537 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Zhirkov saved our season and helped us do the double. hopefully Baba is rewarded with a longer stay if he can pull off the same feat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
