Report: Chelsea lead race for Baba Rahman

Chelsea are reportedly in pole position to sign Augsburg defender Baba Rahman.

The Ghana international has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge amid uncertainty over Filipe Luis's future with the Blues.

Serie A sides Juventus and Roma are also said to be chasing Rahman's signature, but it is thought that the 21-year-old would prefer a switch to the Premier League.

Chelsea will table an opening bid of £14m for Rahman this week, according to The Guardian.

The left-back joined Augsburg from SpVgg Greuther Furth in 2014 and made 31 appearances for the Bundesliga side last season.

Rahman has won 11 caps for Ghana.
