Chelsea boost as defender arrives at training ground as Jose Mourinho rings the changes

BABA RAHMAN has arrived at Chelsea's Cobham training ground following his signing from Augsburg.

 

The Ghana international was spotted arriving at Chelsea's state-of-the-art training facilities after completing his £21.7m move from Augsburg on Sunday.

The 21-year-old, who reportedly passed a medical last week, has agreed a five-year-deal with the champions.

 

"I am very happy to sign for Chelsea, one of the biggest clubs in the world," he said.

"I can't wait to train with my new team-mates and very much looking forward to working with them and Mr (Jose) Mourinho."

Rahman has already been awarded the No. 17 shirt, following in the footsteps of Eden Hazard, Jose Bosingwa and last season's recipient Mohamed Salah.

The Ghanaian will provide added competition to Chelsea's back-four, who became the talking point of their 3-0 loss to Manchester City, as Jose Mourinho caused some controversy by substituting captain John Terry for Kurt Zouma.
