He always makes fun when we are in the dressing room or at dinner. He’s a funny guy who always makes people laugh around him.<\/p>\n “We don’t have to talk much about Eden’s qualities, he shows in every game that he is an amazing player.”<\/p>\n Baba was signed\u00a0from Augsburg\u00a0in 2015 by then-manager Jose Mourinho and made 15 Premier League appearances in the 2015-16 campaign, before Cesar Azpilicueta and later Marcos Alonso became preferred options in his favoured left-back role.<\/p>\n The 24-year-old spent last season at Schalke also, and believes Chelsea’s system of loaning out players is helping him become a stronger footballer.<\/p>\n “As one of the best clubs in the world Chelsea gives many players the chance to fulfill their dreams and become a better football player with that system,” Baba said.<\/p>\n “Me for example I’m able to play at Schalke in front of 60,000 people regularly now, which helps me a lot in my development as a player.”<\/p>\n Baba has started two of Schalke’s three Bundesliga games this season and says he is focused on the club that has given him an opportunity to play first-team football.<\/p>\n But the Ghana international refused to rule out playing for Chelsea again in the future.<\/p>\n “You can never say where football will guide you to. Maybe I stay for the next 10 years at Schalke but I also can imagine playing for Chelsea again,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n “But at the moment I don’t think about these things, I’m really happy at Schalke.”<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Ghanaian revealed that the Chelsea star regularly tells team-mates exactly what he’s going to do in an upcoming match Baba Rahman has revealed that Eden Hazard\u00a0is known around the club for predicting his performance in matches.
