It will be the Ghanaian's first taste of English football away from the
Blues following his transfer from German side Augsburg in the summer of
2015.
He made 23 appearances during his debut season at Stamford Bridge,
impressing in the Champions League knockout round against Paris
Saint-Germain.
The following season was spent on loan in the Bundesliga with Schalke,
where the defender featured prominently before a cruciate ligament knee
injury at the Africa Cup of Nations kept him sidelined for a year.

His return came with Schalke in January 2018 and he made five appearances
before a switch to Reims in France 12 months later, where he played 11
games. In September 2019, he completed a season-long loan move to newly
promoted La Liga side Real Mallorca, where injuries once again restricted
him to a handful of appearances.
Having recovered, Baba appeared on occasions for our development squad in
the first half of 2020/21 and joined PAOK in Greece during the winter
transfer window, where he made 17 appearances and scored one goal.
The 27-year-old joins a Royals side enduring a difficult start to the
season, with three defeats from their opening four Championship games.
They are next in action away at Huddersfield Town this weekend. His new
Chelsea contract runs until the summer of 2024.
