Chelsea-bound Ghana defender Baba Abdul-Rahman has passed a medical in Paris on Friday morning ahead of his imminent move to Stamford Bridge, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.

The 21-year-old move to Chelsea now looks imminent as the medical was completed in Paris and the player is expected to sign a contract within the coming hours.

The right-back is expected to sign a five-year contract with Chelsea within the coming hours.

Baba departed from Germany on Thursday afternoon to have his medical examination in Paris, which he passed on Friday, Ghana’s leading football news outfit can reveal.

The Ghanaian defender could return returned to Germany right after where he awaits on his visa and work permit’s arrival before travelling to London.

Baba couldn’t undergo a medical in London as he’s a non-EU player and needed a visa to travel to the UK and the delays in acquiring the visa to enable him travel to London forced him to travel to Paris for the medical.
