Everton were last linked with the Chelsea left-back when Ronald Koeman was in charge.

Everton have expressed an interest in signing Chelsea’s Baba Rahman on loan, according to the Daily Mail.

The Chelsea left-back is said to be nearing full fitness after 11 months sidelined with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

But with the Blues still keen on adding another left-sided wing-back – according to the Daily Mail, who list Alex Telles of Porto and Alex Sandro of Juventus as targets – Rahman may have to build up his fitness elsewhere.

Everton – who were linked with a move for Rahman by the same reporter, Simon Jones, in May – are one option, according to the Daily Mail, but could face competition from Schalke 04, Monaco, Fenerbahce and Fiorentina.

The Toffees are said to be seeking cover for veteran left-back Leighton Baines, for whom they lack a natural alternative.

Right-footer Cuco Martina has taken Baines’ place in each of Everton’s last two matches.

Rahman made his name with Greuther Furth and FC Augsburg in Germany’s Bundesliga, before a £14 million transfer to Chelsea in 2015.

The Ghanaian has only made 23 appearances for the Blues to date.
