Club reject €25m Chelsea bid for top-quality defender

Chelsea are looking to bring in a full-back, and that need has become more urgent after yesterday’s 2-2 draw in their Premier League opener against Swansea City at Stamford Bridge. Abdul Baba Rahman, the left-back from Augsburg is high on the club’s list of targets, and has already agreed personal terms for a move to Stamford Bridge this summer.

But according to this report from The Guardian, the Bundesliga side have rejected a €25 million bid by Chelsea for the 21 year-old, and are adamant not to sell for anything below €30 million.
