Schalke chief Heidel: Our last signing will only be Chelsea fullback Baba

Schalke chief Christian Heidel says a deal for Chelsea fullback Abdul Baba Rahman will be their last bit of business this month.

Schalke are wrapping up a loan deal for Juventus midfielder Marko Pjaca and striker Cedric Teuchert has joined from Nurnberg.

Heidel says one opening remains - but only for Baba.

"This is the only position in which we could tolerate anyone else. And it's all about Baba," he declared.

The fullback is in the final stretch of his recovery from knee injury and Heidel added: "Does he need another two weeks or does he need two more months?"
