The left-back has impressed for Augsburg in the Bundesliga this season and could replace Filipe Luis, who seems keen on returning to Atletico Madrid.

Luis joined the Blues for £16 million from the Rojiblancos last year, but failed to earn the left-back spot at Stamford Bridge - with Mourinho preferring to play Cesar Azpilicueta out of position ahead of the Brazilian.

Baba Rahman could follow the footsteps of former Ghanaian Chelsea star, Michael Essien. The 20-year-old made 31 appearances for Augsburg this season, assisting five goals.

He made his Black Stars debut in September 2014 and was part of the Ghana squad which finished runners-up at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

Mourinho would reportedly be prepared to pay £15 million for the young left-back, but would have to fend off interest from Serie A champions Juventus.
