Chelsea are preparing a €15m swoop for Augsburg's highly-rated left-back Baba Rahman, according to French sports daily L'Equipe.
The 20-year-old has turned heads with his composed performances in the Bundesliga for the Bavarian side and scouts have flocked to take in his performances.
A Ghana international, Rahman arrived in Germany in 2012 to link up with Franconian outfit Greuther Furth, before moving on to Augsburg last year.
Chelsea have been impressed with the left-back's displays in Germany's top flight and are now actively looking to take him to Stamford Bridge.
A Ghana international, the 20-year-old has made 28 appearances in the Bundesliga for Augsburg so far this season, fully establishing himself at the club.

Augsburg will not be keen on parting with Rahman so soon after snapping up and with the defender tied to a contract until 2019, are in a strong position.
Should Chelsea sign Rahman, it may place a question mark over left-back Filipe Luis' spot at the club, the Brazilian having been linked with a return to former side Atletico Madrid.
