Chelsea are reportedly going to hold talks with Fenerbahce over a potential January move for Baba Rahman.
According to reports in Turkey, the Turkish Super League side are determined to bolster their squad once the winter transfer window opens following a poor start to the season.
Rahman, who spent last season at Bundesliga side Schalke 04, is yet to make an appearance for the Blues this season following a serious knee injury while away on loan. He returned to Chelsea’s first-team training in September.
According to the source Fenerbahce would be keen to sign Rahman on a season-long loan with an option to buy in January 2019. The 23-year-old arrived to Chelsea in the summer of 2015 in a hefty €20m transfer from Augsburg.
Blues boss Antonio Conte, however, is unlikely to let the Ghana international go before aqcuiring a replacement for him. Spanish wing-back Marcos Alonso is currently the only natural left-back at the club, and needs himself a back-up as soon as possible. Brazilian youngster Kenedy has also been rotated at the left wing-back’s role against weaker oppositions, but he’s yet to play a single minute in the Premier League this season.
