# Chelsea outcast Baba Rahman set for Stade Reims move

Chelsea’s Baba Rahman is being sent out on loan to Ligue 1 outfit Stade Reims, according to a report from the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6640177/Chelsea-allow-left-Baba-Rahman-join-Ligue-1-Stade-Reims-loan.html).

The out-of-favour left-back was previously on loan at Schalke in the Bundesliga, where a serious knee injury cut his spell there short.

But in order to gain more first-team opportunities and regular playing time, Rahman is set to complete his latest temporary move to Stade Reims.

The French side sit 9th in Ligue 1 and have been performing very well so far this campaign.

Baba Rahman was brought to Stamford Bridge in 2015 for an initial fee of £14 million but has only played 23 times since then, with most of his time being spent on-loan at Schalke.

He played 26 times for the Bundesliga club after being hampered by his knee injury, but is now fit again and seeking first-team football.

Chelsea look content in the left-back position for now, with Marcos Alonso and Emerson battling it out for a starting spot.
