Schalke has moved closer to the signing of Chelsea left back Baba Rahman.
Baba Rahman has been cleared to join Schalke's training camp in Austria as he nears a loan departure from Chelsea.
The Ghana left back is thought to have passed a medical with the Bundesliga club on Sunday.
Rahman has previous experience of German football, having left Augsburg for Chelsea in an estimated 14 million pound ($19M) deal just a year ago.
But he struggled to make in impact under Jose Mourinho and Guus Hiddink, making just 11 Premier League starts.
Rahman's coach at Augsburg was current Schalke boss Markus Weinzierl.
