Chelsea left-back Baba Rahman ‘has a loan offer from Watford and Middlesbrough’ with EFL transfer window open until October 16 … as he will be shipped for a SIXTH time since joining the Blues
- Baba Rahman, Chelsea’s forgotten man, could be on loan from Watford or Boro
- The left back hasn’t played for the Blues since his debut season in 2015-16
- He has failed to impress and has been loaned out five times
Baba Rahman, the Chelsea outcast, has been reported to attract the interest of Watford and Middlesbrough, who are considering a long loan for the left back.
Rahman’s career at Stamford Bridge turns into a nightmare having been on loan for the past five seasons, having not played in a senior game for the Blues since the 2015-16 season – when he first joined.
The Ghanaian came from Augsburg for £ 14 million and played 23 times in his debut campaign, but ended up being shipped to Schalke for three consecutive seasons, with recent spells in Reims and Mallorca.
Baba Rahman, Chelsea’s left back, could go to Watford or Middlesbrough on loan
While he has experienced quality moments that he lends, he also suffers from injury issues and struggled to get fully fit. Last season, a paralyzing knee problem kept him out for most of the season after he came to Mallorca.
Incredibly, Rahman still has two years to go with his current Blues deal, but he could get a sixth loan, with Watford and Middlesbrough both an option, as reported by Target.
He was unable to get another temporary switch to a European outfit as most divisions’ transfer window closed this week – but the EFLs will remain open until October 16, opening the door to a possible championship move.
The Ghanaian has not played for the club since 15-16 and has been loaned out five times
Left back has been a problem area for Chelsea in recent seasons, with Marcus Alonso and Emerson Palmieri – who could also be loaned out – unable to make the position their own.
This summer, the Blues are splashing out £ 50 million on Leicester’s Ben Chilwell, adding even more competition for places.
There are a host of other names from the first team photo, including Victor Moses and Danny Drinkwater, with the club already full of quality stars.
Frank Lampard has spent £ 240 million on signings this season, including £ 50 million on Ben Chilwell
In all, Chelsea have spent around £ 240 million in a busy shop window to give manager Frank Lampard a huge opportunity to compete for the title this season, although Rahman seems a long way from his first-team plans.
Rahman, who has 28 caps for Ghana, is only 26 and has plenty of time to revive his career – which started in Germany with Greuther Furth.
He moved to Augsburg in 2014 and caught the eye playing 32 times in his first season with the club before being picked by the Blues.
