Baba Rahman Thanks Mourinho For His Warm Reception

The Ghana international has expressed satisfaction with life at Stamford Bridge, adding that he is ready to give his all Chelsea left-back Baba Rahman has heaped praise on manager Jose Mourinho for his warm reception after joining the Blues on a five-year deal last month. The 21-year-old was a major subject of transfer rumours, following reports of interest from a host of top European sides including Manchester City, Arsenal, Barcelona, Juventus and Real Madrid, after impressing for Augsburg in the German topflight. �My relationship with Jose Mourinho has been outstanding from day one and I hope it continues throughout my stay at Chelsea,� Baba said in a �thank you� message published on the official website of his former Ghanaian club Dreams FC. �Again, I wish to put on record that a lot of thought went into the choice that I made in joining Chelsea. �I love this club. I am a professional footballer who believes in fighting for the best and that�s what I intend to do here.� Back from international duty after featuring in Ghana�s 1-0 win over Rwanda in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, the Tamale-born could be set for his Chelsea debut on Saturday when the Blues take on Everton at Goodison Park. �My teammates at Chelsea have received me very well and I am gradually getting used to the environment and the culture that exist within the club,� Baba said. �I am here to fight to get to the top in the Premier League and the Uefa Champions League. �I think that I haven�t fulfilled even half of that ambition.� Having spent a season-long loan at Ghanaian side Asante Kotoko from Dreams FC, Baba joined German side Greuther Furth in 2012, before moving to Augsburg in 2014.
