Ghana defender, Abdul Baba Rahman is eyeing English Premier League promotion with Reading FC.
The 27-year-old will spend the rest of the 2021/22 season at Madejski Stadium after extending his Chelsea contract.
This will be Baba's fifth loan deal away from Stamford Bridge since joining the Blues from Augsburg.
“I’m very happy to finally be here,” said Baba. “There has been a bit of back and forth, but I’m excited to be here now," Rahman told the club's official website.
“My agent mentioned the interest to me; I know Reading from over the years, and it’s a big club with a great history. So I was delighted.
“This league is really competitive. When I spoke with the manager about the project that is coming on, I was really interested. That’s the main reason why I’m here.
He added, “I’m really hoping to get going quickly and I can’t wait to start playing."
“I want to achieve promotion because this club needs to get back to where it belongs”
Rahman spent last season on loan PAOK, where he made 17 appearances and scored one goal.
