Sports News Baba Rahman-we know what a victory against Tottenham Hotspurs means to our fans
MAY 2, 2016 LISTEN

Baba Rahman looks forward to what could be his first appearance in a London derby and recalls his memories of playing in games between local rivals earlier in his career.

'Wow! A long time!'
That's Baba Rahman 's reaction when the official Chelsea website informs him the last time Tottenham left Stamford Bridge victorious was four-and-a-half years before he was born.

We'll be hoping to extend our 28-game unbeaten run when the Premier League's second-placed team head to south-west London tomorrow, and Baba Rahman is aware of the significance of the fixture for Chelsea supporters.

'I was on the bench at Tottenham and also at Arsenal and I saw the atmosphere,' the Ghanaian said. 'They were both very good.

'We know what it means to the fans and to the club as well. We expect a good atmosphere and very good support from the fans, as they do always.'

While Baba may not have yet featured in a derby match at Chelsea, he confirms he did do so at one of his previous clubs in Germany. He has sampled the experience at international level, too.

'For Greuther Furth I played against Nuremberg a couple of times. The second time was my last game for Furth and I scored two goals. It was the perfect way to say goodbye.

'Ghana's main rival is Nigeria - we are almost the same, we have a lot of similarities and share a lot of things. When we play against each other it's always a tough game, and all of us really want to win it. Obi knows it too!'
