Ghana and Chelsea defender Baba Rahman will join his Chelsea teammates in the coming days to begin preseason.

The 22-year-old remains a vital part of Coach Antonio Conte’s side having played a total of 22 games for the dethroned English champions last season.

Baba has spent the last two months on holidays in his native Ghana after what was a truly difficult first season in England.

Chelsea finished a disappointing out of the European spot last season and will be hoping to return to the glory days when Conte takes over the wheels this season.

Rahman, who is regarded as one of Africa's rising stars, will be hoping that he makes the grades under the Italian boss.
