Germany's Augsburg confirmed they had sold Ghana international defender Abdul Rahman Baba to Premier League Chelsea for a reported fee of 19.8 million euros (£14 million, $21.9m). The 21-year-old cost just 2.5 million euros ($2.7m) when he joined Augsburg last year from German second-division club Greuther Fuerth, who are set to get a 25 percent share of the sale.
