Chelsea's perennial loanee Baba Rahman has been released from the club

Chelsea fans have finally waved goodbye to long-serving defender Baba Rahman after just 23 appearances in 8 years for the club.

Baba Rahman is set to leave Chelsea after 8 largely forgettable years that included 7 loan moves with four different clubs and just 23 appearances for the Blues.

He joined Chelsea in 2015 from Ausburg as a highly-rated talent but failed miserably to live up to the lofty expectations.

The Ghana international suffered from poor form and was shipped off on loan to Schalke, in the Bundesliga. Rahman had other stints with Reims, Mallorca, PAOK, and Reading, where he played his football last season.

Chelsea have lost 13 players this summer, including sales and expiration of contracts and Rahman is now set to join PAOK in Greece.
