Chelsea to complete the first transfer after Lampard sacking as deal agreed
As we all know Chelsea owner Roman Abromovich has took a bold decision by sacking their legend Frank Lampard from management. Lampard spent close to 18 months at Chelsea. He guided Chelsea to fourth place in the previous season.
Chelsea set to complete the first transfer
However, according to latest reports, Chelsea’s left-back identified as Baba Rahman is set to leave the club on loan. This is said to be the first transfer since Lampard’s exit as manager. As per media outlets, Chelsea currently has 31 confirmed players out on loan for 2020/21.
Baba joined Chelsea in 2015 on a £14 million deal but his spell for the Blues has been ruined by knee injuries. Hence, he was jumping around on loan in between those string of injuries. But the 26-year-old is fit as a fiddle after having turned up for the under-23s this season. After missing so much time on the pitch, he will now look to prove himself elsewhere.
The 26-year-old left-back made only 15 match appearances for Chelsea. He hardly got a chance to play for the Blues since his 2015 arrival from Augsburg. He spent most of his time far away from the Blues on loan.
Interestingly, he also had 2 spells at Schalke including his spells at Reims and Mallorca. In order to get regular game time and to spend more time on the pitch, he is set to move out again.
The left-back was left out of Chelsea’s Premier League squad for the starting half of the season. He was also unlikely to be added to the revised squad for the next half of the season.
To get more game time, the left-back is all set to join Greek outfit PAOK on a six-month loan deal till the end of the 2020/21 season, according to Sport24, who claim a deal has been agreed.
