Chelsea are closing on the signing of Abdul Rahman Baba from Bundesliga side Augsburg. According to German source Sportbild, the Blues have agreed a deal worth €25 million for the youngster, who is looked as a supreme talent by some of the top clubs in Europe.

The likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus were also targeting the 21 year-old, but his next destination looks like being Stamford Bridge and the Premier League. Augsburg signed Rahman Baba for just €3.5 million last summer from Greuther Furth, and are now looking to make an incredible 700% profit on his sale.
