Embolo welcomes Chelsea fullback Baba to Schalke

Schalke striker Breel Embolo has welcomed new signing Abdul Baba Rahman from Chelsea.

The 23-year-old, who has recently recovered from a knee problem, was also a target for Everton and Inter Milan in January.

It will be Rahman's second loan stint in Gelsenkirchen, having spent four months at Schalke at the start of last season.

Embolo was one of the first people to unveil Rahman after his move was confirmed.

Embolo's Instagram story shows the pair joking around in a changing room before the striker then puts Rahman into a loose headlock.

Embolo, who cannot hide his delight at his new team-mate, then affectionately rubs his head against Rahman's.
