Abdul Baba Rahman has finally left Chelsea, a whopping seven years after his last appearance for the club, and is reportedly being linked with a move to Greek side PAOK.
The Ghanaian arrived in London in the summer of 2015 off the back of an impressive season in Germany. His five assists from left-back helped to propel middling Augsburg up to their best-ever finish in the Bundesliga as they came in a surprising fifth that saw them qualify for the Europa League.

Chelsea paid an initial €20 million for the services of Baba, with the deal potentially rising as high as €26m. It proved to be a misjudged piece of business. Baba never came to grips with life at Stamford Bridge and, in fact, he rarely ever featured at Chelsea’s home ground.
Baba leaves the Blues having made just 26 first-team outings in his eight years at the club. Most of those eight years were spent out on loan. The 29-year-old, who has 50 appearances for Ghana, is a left-back who can operate as a wing-back or a wide midfielder in a flat four or five midfield setup.
He was part of the Reading side that were relegated to League One last season.
