Chelsea close in on STAR DEFENDER

Chelsea are reportedly close to sealing a summer move for one of their main transfer targets.

Ghanaian international Abdul Baba Rahman has been strongly linked with a switch to Stamford Bridge.

Reports in Italy cite that the talented left-back will make his move to the Premier League holders having rebuffed the chance to join Serie A side Roma.

The 21-year-old, who has also attracted interest from Arsenal, is regarded as one of the best upcoming defenders in the Bundesliga.
