Chelsea defender Baba Rahman agrees PAOK loan deal as forgotten man of Stamford Bridge heads to Greece in search of game time

Chelsea left-back Baba Rahman is joining Greek side PAOK on loan for the rest of the season.

The 26-year-old is firmly out of favour at Stamford Bridge and has agreed a switch to Thessaloniki in search of game time.

It will be a third loan in three seasons for the full-back, who has previously spent underwhelming spells with Schalke, Stade Reims and RCD Mallorca.

He was also linked with a Championship move to Middlesbrough, though official talks with Chelsea never began.

Rahman signed for Chelsea in 2015, on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee, reported to be an initial £14 million, rising to a potential fee of almost £22m.
