Chelsea supervisor Jose Mourinho is determined to finalise his squad as shortly as attainable after watching all of his rivals strengthen considerably over the summer time.
The Ghana global is a replacement for Filipe Luis, the Brazilian who returned to Atletico Madrid earlier this month.
Indeed, it is claimed that Baba passed a medical with the Blues yesterday, something which hints at his imminent arrival at Stamford Bridge.
The powerhouse signed with Greuther Furth in the German Bundesliga back in June 2012, after impressing back in his home country with a couple of clubs.
Augsburg general manager Stefan Reuter said there are further details to discuss with Jose Mourinho’s side over his contract.

The left-back made 31 appearances in the Bundesliga last season, attracting the attention of a host of European clubs with his astute performances. Rahman can be considered the more explosive alternative. He has the quality and ambition to continue improving, but at such a young age, he can be expected to take a rotational role with his new team.
