Rahman set for Chelsea medicals

Chelsea have agreed a deal worth up to £21.7 million with Augsburg to sign left back Abdul Baba Rahman.

Talks between the clubs have been going on for weeks, but the detailed agreement will see the Blues pay an initial £14m, before a further £3.5m in bonuses, depending on Chelsea's performances, £700,000 after Rahman completes 20 games and a further £3.5m after he has made 100 appearances.

The Ghana international has agreed a five-year contract and will head to London to complete his medicals ahead of being confirmed a Chelsea player later this week

Baba, as he is known, has been watched by Roma, Arsenal and Manchester City. The Premier League duo were particularly interested but were concerned at the asking price and understood the player was keen on Chelsea.
