Baba Rahman claims new Chelsea manager Antonio Conte concern that he was too attack-minded for his game plan and that forced him to leave the club.

The Ghana international feared Conte’s reservation about his play was going to restrict him to the bench.

Rahman has since returned to the Bundesliga and joined Schalke 04 on a season-long loan deal to reunited with his former coach at Augsburg Markus Weinzierl.

“Chelsea manager Antonio Conte told me that he wants his team to be very defensive, but I am a rather offensive full back,' Rahman told Ruhr Nachrichten.

"So I would have had very little playing time. Conte advised me to leave on loan. We will see what happens after this season."
