Chelsea left back Baba Rahman has sealed a return to Reading Football Club for a second season-long loan spell.

The 28-years-old defender spent last season with the Royals already, making 29 appearances and becoming a fan-favorite.

During that campaign, he also represented his country to feature alongside Royals skipper Andy Yiadom in the Africa Cup of Nations – and he will be hoping another successful season as a Reading player ahead of this winter’s FIFA World Cup Finals in Qatar.

Reading Manager Paul Ince expressed his delight over Baba’ signing for the 2022-23 campaign.

”A natural left-back with experience at the very highest level has been a clear priority in our recruitment plans this summer and, while we have had to be patient, we are now excited to welcome Baba back to the club! Our fans know all about what he can bring to this squad and what we are trying to achieve this season and I’m really looking forward to working with him again this season!” Ince said.

The Ghanaian international registered a total of 29 starts at left-back with blue and white hoops at Bearwood Park and made a crucial contribution their our fight for Championship survival last season.
