Chelsea strike deal for IN-DEMAND DEFENDER

Chelsea are expected to announce their third signing of the transfer window after they reached an agreement to sign highly-rated defender Abdul Baba Rahman from German side Augburg.

The Ghanaian international is rated as one of the best upcoming talents in the Bundesliga, and has attracted interest from several European clubs in recent weeks.

Premier League champions Chelsea have now jumped the ship by agreeing an £18m deal to sign up the talented full-back.

Rahman is expected to fill the void left by Filipe Luis, who made his way back to Atletico Madrid this summer.
