Baba Rahman Aiming to Win Trophies With Chelsea After Arrival

“I’m really looking forward to trying to carry on the pattern of African players doing well for the club”.

He is the third Ghanaian to sign for the champions following Michael Essien and Christian Atsu and Rahman said Essien, who was at the club for eight and a half years, had been influential in his move to the West London club.

The sale of Felipe Luis to Atletico Madrid prompted the Blues to launch a serious search for a left-back.

“I want to thank the fans for their great support and wish the entire team all the best”.

Rahman said in a statement, according to the club’s official website, that leaving was not an easy decision but called the move to Chelsea a “big opportunity”.

Once Mourinho finds a winning combination, he tends to stick with it – as evidenced, for example, by the aforementioned duo playing almost every single minute of every single league match last season – so if Baba does get a chance and Chelsea do well, he could be in line for an extended run in the side. “In the Premier League there is a heavy emphasis on getting up and down the pitch, which I like to do”. “I played on the left wing in Germany for Greuther Furth not so long ago and scored two goals in the game, but the next day I left for Augsburg”. Obviously Chelsea won the Premier League last season and I hope we can repeat that, and do even more. “I hope they have another successful season”.
