Chelsea in talks for Baba Rahman

Chelsea are in crunch talks with German side Augsburg over a possible deal for defender Baba Rahman.

The Ghanaian international played a crucial role in the club's progress last season, as they finished fifth in Bundesliga.

Blues are understood to have scouted the talented left-back several times during the previous campaign, and consider him as the perfect replacement for Filipe Luis, who is expected to make way from Stamford Bridge this summer.

Widespread reports claim that the Premier League champions are discussing a £10.7m deal with the Bundesliga outfit for the talented defender.
