Chelsea’s Baba Rahman reveals why he sealed loan move to Reading

The 27-year-old Black Star explains how the Royal’s manager played a very huge role to lure him to Madejski Stadium

Ghana international Abdul Rahman Baba has revealed the reason he settled to play for EFL Championship side Reading on loan from Chelsea.

The 27-year-old left-back will feature for the Royals at Madejski Stadium for the entire 2021-22 campaign after Chelsea extended his contract but decided to loan him out, his fifth loan deal away from Stamford Bridge.

Baba, who will play alongside Ghanaian compatriot and international colleague Andy Yiadom at Reading, has come out to explain how Royal’s manager Veljko Paunovic played a big part in bringing him to the Championship.
