Schalke fans are 'something else' - Baba Rahman

Ghana defender Abdul Baba Rahman has hailed the support of Schalke fans as 'something else'.

Rahman, 22, joined the Royal Blues on a season-long loan from Chelsea.

And the Ghana international has revealed the support at Schalke is at a level above what he experienced at Chelsea.

"Chelsea are a huge club who have already won the Champions League," Rahman told Bundesliga.com.

"Of course the Blues have great support too, but Schalke is still something else.

"I don't have any figures at hand, but just my feeling tells me that more Schalke fans travel to away games."

He added: "For me, Schalke are one of the absolute top clubs in the Bundesliga.

"While the Augsburg fans were amazing, I've got to say that I've never experienced such enthusiasm as there is here in Gelsenkirchen."
