Baba Rahman in London for a medical ahead of Chelsea switch, according to reports

On Monday, several outlets reported on Baba Rahman's potential transfer fee and wages, following the completion of his Chelsea transfer. On Tiesday, it seems that we more confirmation that a deal is, in fact, very close, as the London Evening Standard is reporting that the player is in London to undergo a medical. Rahman was fit enough to play for Augsburg in a German Cup match last Friday, so the chances of him failing a medical are slim to none.

Most of us are wary of his total costs but we could point out that Chelsea's expected revenue -- especially from TV and advertising -- will continue to increase over the next several years, and the Blues can certainly accommodate young players on higher-than-average wages, such as Rahman and potentially John Stones. Chelsea have been "shy" in this transfer window when compared to other top clubs, but Rahman would appear to be a great fit in both the short and long term.
