Ghana defender Baba Rahman is on his way to Stade Reims on loan on for the rest of the season.
Rahman moved to Stamford Bridge in 2015 from Augsburg for £14million under ex-manager Jose Mourinho and went on to make 23 appearances in his first season.
The 24-year old fell out of favour at Chelsea and was sent back to the Bundesliga on loan at Schalke where he has been for the last two-and-a-half years.
But a serious knee injury has hampered his time in Germany and will move to France to kick-start his career.
Reims are in the midst of their own injury crisis and the defender could go straight into the squad to face Marseille on Saturday.
Rahman who has spent most of his career in Germany has 24 caps for Ghana.
Baba Rahman will be desperate to get his career back on track with his Chelsea contract set to expire next year.
