Ghanaian defender Baba Abdul Rahman has finally left English giants Chelsea after completing his move to Greek outfit PAOK.

The 29-year-old signed a three-year deal to join PAOK in the summer transfer window after ending his eight-year stay at Chelsea.

Rahman joined Chelsea in 2015 from German Bundesliga side Augsburg but struggled to break into the first team, spending most of his time on loan.

"Baba is back. PAEK POAK announces the acquisition of Baba Rahman by transfer from Chelsea. The Ghanaian full-back signed with Dikefalos until June 2026," wrote the club on their official website.

The former Asante Kotoko and Greuther Furth left-back returns to Greece after spending a season on loan with PAOK, where he won the 2021 Greek Cup.

The former Augsburg star previously played for Real Mallorca, Schalke, Stade Reims and Reading on loan before sealing a permanent move away from Chelsea.

The move is expected to help Rahman regain his confidence, which once made him one of the best left full-backs in Germany.
