Baba initially joined Schalke 04 on a season-long loan in the summer of 2016. Antonio Conte took the reins at Stamford Bridge and branded the 23-year-old “too attacking”. He needed a spell on loan elsewhere in order to develop into a more accomplished full-back.

However, as reported in Sky Sports‘ transfer centre, German publication Kicker claim that Baba has now passed his medical with Schalke 04 and official announcement of the deal is thought to be imminent.
