Jose Mourinho confirms Chelsea are trying to sign Rahman

Jose Mourinho has confirmed Chelsea are trying to sign FC Augsburg left-back Baba Rahman, stating that his side need a new player in that position.


Filipe Luis’ return to Atletico Madrid has left the Blues with just Cesar Azpilicueta who can operate on the left side of Mourinho’s defence, and as a result the club have been repeatedly linked with players who might be able to fill the void.

However, despite the fact Galatasaray defender Alex Telles is also believed to be in the frame, Mourinho has admitted the speculation surrounding Rahman’s potential purchase is true.

“He is Augsburg player so I don’t speak," Mourinho said, as per the Daily Express.

    "But we try. We don’t have, we have only one left-back. We are trying."
