Having sold Filipe Luis back to Atletico Madrid this summer, Chelsea are in search of a quality left back.
Ausburg’s 21-year-old defender Abdul Baba Rahman has been in the limelight and according to reports, the Ghanaian international is close to joining the Blues.
Metro cite reports in Germany claiming that Chelsea are close to bringing the versatile star to London and an official confirmation is imminent.
Abdul Baba Rahman is a solid defender who has proved to be effective in the attacking third as well. Last season, Ausburg also utilized him as a left winger when needed. As per the above given link, Rahman is rated around $33 million.
The African star featured in 33 games for the Bundesliga side last season, scored 2 goals and provided 6 assists as well.
Rahman will be a top signing for manager Jose Mourinho who will mainly improve the depth of the Chelsea squad. Goes without saying that the young defender will mostly warm the bench in PL if Azpilicueta remains fit.
