The agent of Augsburg left back Abdul Rahman Baba has confirmed that personal terms have been agreed with Chelsea ahead of the player's proposed transfer to Stamford Bridge.





Speaking to ​Sport Bild, Baba's agent, Sascha Empacher, revealed that all that is left to do before the transfer is officially announced is for both clubs to agree a fee.





Chelsea are rumoured to have launched a £17.5m bid for the Ghana international last week, moving soon after they decided to sell Filipe Luis back to Atletico Madrid.









Empacher said of the progress on the deal: "It is only the clubs that have to find an agreement. We on our side are agreed."





According to Empacher, the move to Chelsea is the player's dream transfer - after he admitted as such during an interview with ​Kicker last week. He did deny at the time that any transfer had been agreed, though it now appears that the move has taken another step closer.





He said recently: "Chelsea made an attractive offer. It is Baba's dream to play for a top club. He would like to take this opportunity.”





Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been linked with the 21-year-old for several weeks, while the club are also interested in bringing in John Stones from Everton. But while the Premier League champions are hopeful of doing business, Mourinho admitted that the club would not be held to ransom in their hunt for new players.









According to the ​Express, he said: "This moment we have five (defenders), four to play and one on the bench. But five is not enough. That's obvious.





"I say we need seven plus a quality kid. A quality kid we have. It's just a question of make a final decision and deciding who to get.





"I have people in mind, but we make our own rules and know the players' value. We know when we have to stop and turn to another side and option because we as a club make rules nobody can change."
