Premier League side Brentford is actively monitoring Ghanaian defender Baba Rahman, who has been enjoying a stellar season with PAOK Thessaloniki, as they look to strengthen their left-back options.
According to reports from West London news, Brentford is poised to secure Rahman’s signature for a modest fee of £5 million during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Bees find themselves in a vulnerable position in the full-back department due to Rico Henry’s long-term injury, which is expected to keep him sidelined for the remainder of this season and the beginning of the next.
Their attempt to address the void with a short-term loan deal for Tottenham’s Sergio Reguilón has provided only temporary relief, especially with Reguilón’s suspension due to a red card, making him unavailable until April 3rd.
Identifying Rahman, a former Chelsea player, as a potential solution to their defensive challenges, Brentford sees the 29-year-old as a valuable addition to their squad.
Rahman has impressed during his tenure at PAOK, contributing four goals and two assists in 19 league appearances as the club contends for the Greek Super League title. Despite a recent injury setback on March 19th, reports from Greece suggest Rahman’s imminent return to action.
Having joined PAOK as a free agent following his departure from Chelsea, Rahman could be on the verge of a Premier League comeback. His consistent performances in both domestic and European competitions have garnered attention from Brentford scouts, who are keen on bringing him back to English football.
