Rahman misses out to Ruben for Chelsea’s young player of the year award

Ghana defender Baba Rahman came behind English-U21 players Ruben Loftus-Cheek as the best young player for Chelsea football club.

Baba Rahman has played in 21 games in all competitions while Loftus-Cheek has managed just 18 in all competitions.

But the English youngster had majority of the votes with Baba Rahman coming second.

Rahman arrived at Chelsea last summer after a blistering season with Augsburg in the German league but initially struggled to adapt to the pace of the English League.
