Thomas Frank's side have struggled for a permanent left-back following the injury to Rico Henry while Sergio Reguilon's loan deal expires this summer.

The Bees are currently battling for survival but the manager is already looking at reinforcements for next season with the Ghanaian high on the list.

Meanwhile, Rahman is enjoying one of his best campaigns in Europe, having netted four goals and provided two assists for PAOK this season, per Transfermarkt.

He was on target as PAOK staged a remarkable comeback to eliminate Dinamo Zagreb to reach the quarter-final of the Europa Conference, where they will face Club Brugge.
