Augsburg's Ghanaian fullback Baba Rahman has moved a step closer to joining Premier League champions Chelsea, the player's agent said on Wednesday.

"It is only the clubs that have to find an agreement. We on our side are agreed," Rahman's agent Sascha Empacher told German newspaper Bild on Wednesday.

The 22-year-old produced some fine displays with Augsburg, helping them finish fifth in the Bundesliga last season.

It was reported that Chelsea made a £17.5million to sign the player who made 31 appearances with Augsburg last term.

The international fullback was instrumental in Ghana's Nations Cup campaign, helping the Black Stars reach the final against Ivory Cost, who won the title earlier this year with a shootout win following a 0-0 draw.
