Baba Rahman's loan move to German outfit Schalke 04 won't affect his weekly wages.

The former Kotoko defender will still pocket £50,000 weekly wages he earns at Chelsea.

The Ghanaian left-back is returning to the Bundesliga having joined Chelsea from Augsburg just a year ago.

Rahman, 22, had signed a five-year deal at the club and provided cover for the first-choice left-back César Azpilicueta last season but does not appear to figure in the new manager Antonio Conte’s plans.

Rahman made 23 appearances last season, 19 of them starts, with his debut also his first career game in the Champions League, a 4-0 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv.

The Ghana international will be reunited with his former Augsburg manager Markus Weinzierl who took charge of Schalke earlier this summer.
