Chelsea full-back Baba Rahman is in advanced talks over a six-month loan move to PAOK to try and get more playing games after enduring six months with the Blues’ Under-23s.

The 26-year-old joined Chelsea in the summer of 2015/2016 and despite featuring for the Blues 22 times in his first season he was sent out on loan the next season by Italian manager Antonio Conte who replaced interim manager Guus Hiddink.

Injuries at both club and national level have hampered Baba’s chances of breaking into the Chelsea first team.

Both Watford and Middlesbrough were interested in Rahman in the summer, while there were two other clubs – one in Spain and the other in Germany – who were considered by Rahman before he chose Greek outfit PAOK.

His recent involvement in Ghana’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Sudan late last year marked his return to full fitness and his encouraging performance was enough to convince PAOK who are in the market for an attacking left back.
