Chelsea responded to dropping two points at home to Swansea by agreeing a deal for left back Abdul Baba Rahman for an initial £14million. Talks between Chelsea and Augsburg have been ongoing for weeks and the agreement will see a further £3.5m paid in bonuses depending on Chelsea performances, £700,000 after the 21-year-old completes 20 games and a further £3.5m after he has made 100 appearances — meaning the total value of the deal could reach almost £22m. The Ghana international has agreed a five-year contract and will head to London to complete his medical. It will be a boost for Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, who has not significantly strengthened his title- winning squad this summer while rivals Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United have all brought players in.Chelsea set to sign left back Baba Rahman for an initial £14million feeDeal could rise to £21.7m depending on performance and appearancesGhana international agrees a five-year contract at Stamford BridgePremier League news: CLICK HERE for all the latestREAD: Chelsea's £30m John Stones bid will be turned down
